Under Python 3, binary files and text files are clearly distinct and mutually incompatible; see the :mod:`io` module for details. Therefore, you **must** make a decision of whether a file will be used for -binary access (allowing to read and/or write binary data) or text access -(allowing to read and/or write text data). You should also use :func:`io.open` +binary access (allowing binary data to be read and/or written) or text access +(allowing text data to be read and/or written). You should also use :func:`io.open` for opening files instead of the built-in :func:`open` function as the :mod:`io` module is consistent from Python 2 to 3 while the built-in :func:`open` function is not (in Python 3 it's actually :func:`io.open`). |
