So I'm unfamiliar with 't' in python file modes, nor does casual googling tell me anything about it. Does this mean 't' == 'text'? I thought this was the default if 'b' wasn't specified. (I'm also not sure why any of the files here were using the binary mode anyway, but that's another story.) Looks good. Assuming this is tested and works on python 2.6 (or whatever we require these days), r+

I picked up the habit of using binary mode at some point, I don't remember why. > Looks good.
