[New-bugs-announce] [issue21428] Python suddenly cares about EOLs formats on windows

[Chappuis]

New submission from Chappuis:

When trying to execute the Software build program waf (http://ftp.waf.io/pub/release/waf-1.7.16) with the command python waf-1.7.16 --version, this unzip a folder in the current directory while reporting the version of the program on the standard input. Waf is distributed as a single file with unix end-of-lines. Executing the program with python 2.7 to 3.3 does not cause any problem, but executing with python-3.4.0 make the execution stop.

I patched waf to solve the problem which is purely related to unix/dos end-of-lines. The behaviour of python-3.4.0 seems to have change regarding these EOL characters compared to the previous releases. Is that intentional?

Kind regards

Thierry
