Charles-François Natali <neolo...@free.fr> added the comment:
See also issue 12105.
A couple downsides:
- O_EXCL is not necessarily portable (doesn't work well with NFS, maybe not on
Windows?)
- O_EXCL is useful, as is O_CLOEXEC: to be consistent, we should also end up
adding all other commonly-used flags, which are really OS-specific
Furthermore, you can achieve the same thing with:
os.fdopen(os.open('/etc/fstab', os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CLOEXEC|os.O_CREAT))
it's more verbose, though.
