[New-bugs-announce] [issue4631] urlopen returns extra, spurious bytes

[Adeodato Simó]

New submission from Adeodato Simó <dato at net.com.org.es>:

This is very odd, but it was reproduced by people in #python as well. 
Compare, in python 2.5:

>>> 
urllib.urlopen('http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?mbox=yes;bug=123456').readline()
'From mechanix at lucretia.debian.net Tue Dec 11 11:32:47 2001\n'

To the equivalent in python 3.0:

>>> 
urllib.request.urlopen('http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?mbox=yes;bug=123456').readline()
b'f65\r\n'
