setmode again

[Brian Myers]

Ugh,

By the rush to respond I'm getting so far, I'm guessing nobody does these kind of programs these days. Can't say I'm surprised, but I'm stuck working with legacy data.

Anyway, for everyone's reference, the following python code works perfectly:

import os, msvcrt
import sys

msvcrt.setmode(sys.stdout.fileno(), os.O_BINARY)
print "test line1\r\ntestline2"
