[issue30012] gzip.open(filename, "rt") fails on Python 2.7.11 on win32, invalid mode rtb

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun added the comment:

You want to hack a fake text mode, which won't do new-line translation or treat ^Z (0x1a) as EOF like a normal 2.x text mode on Windows. Can't you just use io.TextIOWrapper(gzip.open(filename))? This reads Unicode.
