Minor suggestions:
- when mixed newlines are found in a file, can the newlines attribute be a list of those that are found, instead of "mixed"?
- shouldn't open() mode "wU" also be illegal?
One more: - Why isn't "rU+" allowed? It's understandable that "+" is not allowed for output, but I can't see a good reason why it shouldn't be allowed to open file for read/write, and read with universal support (maybe some implementation detail?). Allowing this would even easy the task, since when writting to the file the programmer could consider the newlines attribute, if he wants. -- Gustavo Niemeyer [ 2AAC 7928 0FBF 0299 5EB5 60E2 2253 B29A 6664 3A0C ]
