[New-bugs-announce] [issue16625] Exception on mode 'br'

[Sworddragon]

New submission from Sworddragon:

The mode 'br' on open() can cause an exception with the following message: "ValueError: mode string must begin with one of 'r', 'w', 'a' or 'U', not 'br'". Curriously most times the mode 'br' is working fine and I'm not able to create a simple test case where it fails. Only in one of my scripts it fails with an exception (in the attachments is an example).
