Saving files in XP: valueError: invalid mode

[Anonymous]

When attempting to save XRC files on WinXP, running Py2.7, I received the following error:

valueError: invalid mode ('wtb')

This error was not apparent on ubuntu.

A quick ggl search brought up the following suggestion:

Editing xrced.py at lines at 1409 and 1411, replacing the following:

            if g.currentEncoding:
                f = codecs.open(path, 'wt', g.currentEncoding)
            else:
                f = codecs.open(path, 'wt')

With:

            if g.currentEncoding:
                f=open(path,'w')
            else:
                f=open(path,'w')

Solved the problem. XRCed files now save.

Cheers,

Cam.
