[Python-ideas] os.path.isbinary

[Ryan]

I see...
This works:

import re

with open('test.xml', 'r') as f:
    print re.sub(r'(^(\'|\")|(\'|\")$)', '', repr(f.read()).replace('\\n', '\n'))

But, repr can still print binary characters. Opening libexpat.so shows all sorts of crazy characters like \x00.
