The file mode is set when you open it -- in Python open(), it is the second
parameter.  Check reference for details.

Since stdin is already open, I am not sure you can change mode.

The only difference that I know of between binary and text mode is that on
Windows (but not *nix) text mode causes \r\n to be condensed to or expanded
from \n on input and output.  Do not know about Mac.

A specific example, as short as possible, of files that work and do not,
with code and error messages, might get a more specific response.
