[issue21946] 'python -u' yields trailing carriage return '\r' (Python2 for Windows)

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

This is the documented behavior of the -u option.  It puts the streams in binary mode "on systems where it matters", which would be windows.  That is, universal newline processing is disabled when you use -u.

Note that this is no longer an issue in python3: there, -u only affects buffering, and not the binary/text mode (because in python3 there is always a distinction between binary and text mode, regardless of platform).
