I've created a patch that fixes this, and added an accompanying unit test (which fails without the change).

Thanks for the patch Aaron. Unfortunately this doesn't quite fix the issue. There are two problems with the patch: If a bytes object is passed into mock_open, I'd expect a bytes object in the output. In your patch, not only is this not the case (the output is a string object), but the bytes object is being coerced into its string representation in the resulting list. For example (simplified from your patch): >>> data = b'foo\nbar' >>> newline = b'\n' >>> >>> ['{}\n'.format(l) for l in data.split(newline)] ["b'foo'\n", "b'bar'\n"] What I would expect to see in this case is: [b'foo\n', b'bar\n']

I've created a new patch, which addresses the problem. Your example now currently returns [b'foo\n', b'bar\n']

Thanks for the update, but this doesn't quite work either as you're assuming utf-8 (which is what .encode() and .decode() default to). For example, when using latin-1: >>> m = mock_open(read_data= b'\xc6') >>> with patch('__main__.open', m, create=True) : ... with open('abc', 'rb') as f : ... print(f.read()) ... Traceback (most recent call last): [snip] UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc6 in position 0: unexpected end of data Additionally, a bytes object may simply be binary data that doesn't adhere to any specific encoding. My suggestion is to remove the use of format() altogether as it's really not doing anything complex and simply append either '\n' or b'\n' depending on the type of object passed in. That way, you can deal with the type of object passed in directly without coercion.

Thanks, I've fixed that. Not sure why I thought decoding and re-encoding would work with any binary data. I've also updated one of the tests to use non-utf8-decodeable binary data, to prevent a future regression.

Thanks again for the update Aaron, I've left a couple small comments in Rietveld. Other than those, the patch looks good to me. Thanks for the contribution!
msg232693 - (view) Author: Aaron Hill (Aaron1011) * Date: 2014-12-16 01:06
I've fixed the issues you pointed out. Is there a better way than uploading a new patch file to make changes?
msg232704 - (view) Author: Demian Brecht (demian.brecht) * (Python triager) Date: 2014-12-16 03:10
Thanks for the updated patch, looks good to me. If you haven't already read it, the patch workflow is here: https://docs.python.org/devguide/patch.html and is the only workflow currently available.

I've fixed the formatting issues.

A few more comments were left in Rietveld for you, likely hidden by spam filters.

Thanks for the patch, Aaron(also thanks to Demian for reviews). I've fixed the merge conflict and added more tests.

Post merge review: looks like data_as_list = read_data.splitlines(True) would be a little cleaner.
msg248197 - (view) Author: Berker Peksag (berker.peksag) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-08-07 14:52
data_as_list = read_data.splitlines(True) is not actually the equivalent of data_as_list = [l + sep for l in read_data.split(sep)] It will change the behavior of the _iterate_read_data helper. See the comment at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/78d05eb847c6b8fede08ca74bb59210c00e4c599/Lib/unittest/mock.py#L2278 However, in default branch, we can simplify it to yield from read_data.splitlines(keepends=True)
msg248201 - (view) Author: R. David Murray (r.david.murray) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-08-07 15:50
splitlines(keepends=True) is not ever equivalent to splitting by just '\n'. I don't know the details here, but switching to that would certainly be a behavior change. (Especially if the code path also applies to non-binary data!): >>> b'abc\nde\r\nf\x1dg'.splitlines(True) [b'abc\n', b'de\r\n', b'f\x1dg'] >>> 'abc\nde\r\nf\x1dg'.splitlines(True) ['abc\n', 'de\r\n', 'f\x1d', 'g']
