What do you mean? open() doesn't allow you to wrap other file objects. As for adding options to the mode string, I think it will only make things unreadable. Better make the option explicit, like others already are (buffering, newline, encoding). Besides, file objects still have to support a sync() method, since sync-on-close doesn't cater for all uses. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
