[issue13190] ConfigParser uses wrong newline on Windows

[Łukasz Langa]

Łukasz Langa <lukasz at langa.pl> added the comment:

That is indeed the behaviour. Citing the tutorial: "Python on 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."

When you're opening the file in binary mode, \n characters are not altered. Opening a file that way specifies programmer intent and I don't think we should force os.linesep in that case.
