[New-bugs-announce] [issue10927] Allow universal line endings in filecmp module

[Geoffrey Bache]

New submission from Geoffrey Bache <gjb1002 at users.sourceforge.net>:

It would be useful to compare the contents of two files while not caring what platform they were produced on, perhaps a universal_line_endings parameter to e.g. filecmp.cmp and possibly other methods.

At the moment opening the files with "rb" is hardcoded in filecmp.py.

If there is another way to achieve this, please enlighten me...
