With Python 2.5 the input and output data isn't implicitly converted

Are you sure that's always true? What about systems where newlines aren't \n?

I recommend that the problem and fix gets documented. Maybe stdin, stdout and stderr should get a method that disables the implicit conversion like setMode("b") / setMode("t").

Or maybe another set of objects called stdbin, stdbout, stdberr.
