[issue19627] python open built-in function - "updating" is not defined

[Bulwersator]

New submission from Bulwersator:

see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1466000/python-open-built-in-function-difference-between-modes-a-a-w-w-and-r - "The Python docs conveniently leave out the crucial explanation that "open the file for updating" means "opens the file for both reading and writing", which answers my question."
