Really? It's not obvious that finding a file would involve directory operations?
In what sense does it even matter whether you expect a directory operation to
happen? The contract is that if the open() fails you get an OSError. The
documentation doesn't say which OSError, and that is in fact a
platform-specific implementation detail.
