[issue2028] _fmode = O_TEXT is obsolete

[Facundo Batista]

Facundo Batista added the comment:

O_TEXT is not obsolete, as the behaviour is different even in a win2k.

>>> a = open("ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso")
>>> len(a.read())
46424
>>> a = open("ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso", "rb")
>>> len(a.read())
453132288

I agree that the default should be Binary. Note that this would break
too much in Py2, so if happens it will need to be done in Py3.

BTW, I don't know if this was already discussed, approved, rejected, etc.
