I'm -0 about that change.
However, I'd like to defend the original wording; it is *not* Python
that makes the text/binary distinction. Python just calls fopen(),
which is what portable C programs are supposed to do, with the mode it
is given by the programmer in open(). Python neither ships nor owns the
C library. For the Python programmer however, it is irrelevant which
part of the system that Python uses has a particular behavior, he just
notes that *on that system* it can be observed.
How about "On Windows, a distinction is made ..."? <half-wink> |
