Summary: MacOS9: test_uu fails

Initial Comment:
test_uu fails on MacPython-OS9:

AssertionError: 'The smooth-scaled python crept over the 
sleeping dog\r' != 'The smooth-scaled python crept over the 
sleeping dog\n'

Presumably it mixes binary and text I/O.

MacOS9 is long dead, uuencoded files are probably even longer dead...
If the patch looks good: apply it. But I wouldn't spend more than a few
milliseconds on the whole issue:-)

Should the suggested patch be applied, simply for the sake of consistency
in test_uu?  It's probably difficult to replicate this bug now; does Jack
even have a MacOS 9 installation any more?

Can you try the following patch (diff.txt)? The patch
changes all open() statements to use text mode. I've tested
the patch on Windows and Linux.

I don't know why the old test mixed text and binary mode.
The test should have failed even before the port to PyUnit.

It's in test_decode. The log is attached.

It would help to see a complete traceback (Is the error in
test_encode or test_decode?)

I changed the open call to use 'rU' in stead of 'r' (test_uu rev. 
1.6.6.1). I get the distinct impression that this isn't the right fix, 
though, but that the real problem is elsewhere (mixing up text and 
binary I/O), so I'd like a second opinion.
