open(name, 'w', 0) For even more excitment, there's os.open() with the O_DIRECT and O_SYNC flags. You shouldn't need to go to this extreme, though. FWIW, I think the behavior of Python wrt file subclasses that override write() is silly, too. Jp -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
