The command used were:
svn merge -r17702:17669 relax_io.py
svn merge -r17702:r17701 /data/relax/relax-trunk/generic_fns/structure/internal.py
The relax_io module should now handle all files as text, independent of compression. These reverted
revisions were attempts at fixing the buggy behaviour of Python 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2. But now the
io.TextIOWrapper() class is being used to eliminate the byte streams, which should be text streams.
