New submission from david <davix at plasmatronics.com.au>:
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing-
files
"Windows makes a distinction between text and binary files;
"the end-of-line characters in text files are automatically altered
"slightly when data is read or written.
Windows does not make a distinction between text and binary files:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365467(VS.85).aspx
Nor does it automatically alter end-of-line characters.
It is not clear what distinction Python makes between text and binary
files. Do those options do anything on any platform? Is jPython
different than cPython? And does Python automatically alter end-of-line
characters?
