[New-bugs-announce] [issue2131] "codecs" module on Windows uses incorrect end-of-line, wiriting broken Unicode (UTF-8) files

[Technologov]

New submission from Technologov:

"codecs" module on Windows writes incorrect end-of-line, making it
impossible to write Unicode files.

See below, how-to reproduce bug (Python 2.5.1 on Windows XP)
===================================================================

#buggy unicode support module:
import codecs
filewr=codecs.open('myfile.txt','w','utf-8')
filewr.write("abc"+"\n")
===================================================================
Now, try to open this 'myfile.txt' using Windows Notepad.
The bug is perfectly visible.

The code below, will give correct results however:
===================================================================

filewr=open('myfile.txt','w')

filewr.write("abc"+"\n")
===================================================================
Basically this bugs _prevents_ me from writing Unicode text files.

NOTE: I'm not sure, if this bug should relate to "Windows" or "Unicode"
component.
NOTE: This bug is reproducible, even without writing Unicode characters.
