New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik at gmail.com>:

Need to document the that os.O_BINARY flag is obligatory for cross-platform behavior of os.open() on Windows. By default os.open() opens file as binary on Unix, but as text on Windows.


See also issue2028 for discussion of making os.O_BINARY default on py3k. I can reopen this issue.
