(original) (raw)

In fileobject the mode string is sanitized using �a function, sanitize\_the\_mode().

The same thing needs to happen for posixmodule.fdopen().� Otherwise, the universal\_newlines regression test in test\_subprocess.py will fail for python compiled with Visual Studio 2005.

I have made a local patch by copying this static function over, and it fixes the issue, but I wonder if we would want to share this code?� Also, are there other places that spring to mind where we have to sanitize mode strings before handing them to fopen-like functions?
