http://docs.python.org/py3k/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing-files The text: In text mode, the default is to convert platform-specific line endings (\n on Unix, \r\n on Windows) to just \n on reading and \n back to platform-specific line endings on writing. Is the last '\n' a typo and not needed?

I'm not native English speaker, but for me it just means \r\n -> \n when read from stream and \n -> \r\n when write to stream if OS is Windows. That's correct.

The last \n is needed for the reason Andrew mentioned, but it is true that the sentence could probably be rephrased to reduce the chance of confusion.

I would suggest something like this: "In text mode, the default when reading is to convert platform-specific line endings (\n on Unix, \r\n on Windows) to just \n. When writing in text mode, the default is to convert occurrences of \n back to platform-specific line endings."
