The main point with open I think is to easy later evolution. While you could 
override "file" name as well as "open" by a custom funcion, it's a bad idea 
to override the name of the type because a simple isinstance(file_, file) 
won't work anymore if you do so.

It is also a good idea to open files with the open() function and not the
file() function.  They do the exact same thing, and take the exact same
parameters, just open() makes your code a bit more readable (or at least
that's what I think).

..  this is a list

you're shadowing a builtin -- generally a bad practice


print file
textfile = file[0]+".txt"
print textfile
os.chdir(PNAME)
file(textfile,'wt')


..  and this is why
