[issue22651] Python 2: Open file in a+ mode on Windows doesn't go to the end

[eryksun]

eryksun added the comment:

FYI, this is implementation defined in C89:

    ... unless the file is opened with append mode in which case 
    it is **implementation-defined** whether the file position 
    indicator is positioned at the beginning or the end of the 
    file.
