writing. The *mode* argument is optional; ``'r'`` will be assumed if it's
omitted.
On Windows and the Macintosh, ``'b'`` appended to the mode opens the file in
binary mode, so there are also modes like ``'rb'``, ``'wb'``, and ``'r+b'``.
Windows makes a distinction between text and binary files; the end-of-line
characters in text files are automatically altered slightly when data is read or
written. This behind-the-scenes modification to file data is fine for ASCII
text files, but it'll corrupt binary data like that in :file:`JPEG` or
:file:`EXE` files. Be very careful to use binary mode when reading and writing
such files. On Unix, it doesn't hurt to append a ``'b'`` to the mode, so
you can use it platform-independently for all binary files.
