[Jython-dev] Ptyhon compatibility problems

[Jorge T. <jt...@te...>]

In Python 2.0 the following code writes a binary file.

original =3D 48565078965739
twobis =3D 256l
a =3D []
f =3D open('c:\\code.gz','w')
try:
  while original > 0:
    original, binary =3D divmod(original, twobis)
    a.insert(0, (chr(binary)))
  for c in a:
    f.write(c)
finally:
  f.close()

In Python this file is written correctly , but when we tried the same =
code in Jython 2.0 the code did not do the job.
The problem we found was an incompatibility writting the binary file, in =
Python is allowed to write the code:

f =3D open('c:\\code.gz','w')     or     f =3D open('c:\\code.gz','wb')=20

While in Jython only the second option is valid.
