No, I would prefer to keep also two positional arguments: file and
mode. I hate open(filename, 'r', s): I don't know what is s, the
buffering or the encoding? And I think that beginner would also be
distribed by this third argument. Sometimes, it's easy to understand
the 3 arguments of a function, like re.match("[a-z]", t,
re.IGNORECASE). But for open(), I would prefer explicit arguments.
And so socket.makefile() should also be "fixed" to keep only 2
positional arguments.
It's my opinion and if you really want to keep compatibility with
Python2, keep the 3 positional arguments.
