[issue691291] codecs.open(filename, 'U', 'UTF-16') corrupts text

[flox]

flox <laxyf at yahoo.fr> added the comment:

Proposed patch following suggestion of And Clover.

Compliant with documentation:
«Files are always opened in binary mode, even if no binary mode was
specified. This is done to avoid data loss due to encodings using 8-bit
values. This means that no automatic conversion of '\n' is done on
reading and writing.»
