[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: [Python-Dev] Import hook to do end-of-line conversion?

[Just van Rossum]

I understand now that I simply don't have enough clue about the implementation
to even try to be involved with this. Unless it makes sense to have a PEP that
doesn't touch the implementation at all (doubtful, IMHO), I'll take back my
offer to write one. I still think it's an important issue, but it's simply
beyond what I can deal with.

To solve the issues on MacOS X, maybe it's enough to hack the Carbon version of
stdio so it can handle unix text files. That way we can simply settle for unix
line ending if sharing code between BSD Python and Carbon Python is desired. At
the same time this would allow using CVS under Darwin for MacPython sources,
which is something I look forward to...
