[QUOTE="Paul Watson, post: 1765414"] The following appears to work under 2.1 in Cygwin and 2.3.4 under a DOS box. I did not change any Cygwin setting. Is there anything undesireable in the code below? The intent is to say if this is running on Windows, set stdout to binary mode. Am I safe in assuming that 'import msvcrt' will fail on all other machines? Is there a better way? $ cat ./wb.py #! /usr/bin/env python import sys import os try: import msvcrt msvcrt.setmode(1, os.O_BINARY) except: pass sys.stdout.write("now\n") print "and then" $ ./wb.py >jjj $ od -c jjj 000000 6e 6f 77 0a 61 6e 64 20 74 68 65 6e 0a n o w \n a n d t h e n \n 00000d [/QUOTE]
