why not fix the compiler instead?
Exactly. That is where the correct fix should go. The compile can/should recognize all types of newlines as the NEWLINE token.
The same goes for file objects in text mode...
probably -- but changing can break stuff (in theory, at least), and may require a PEP. changing the compiler is more of a bugfix, really... Cheers /F
