What if we can override the inner call to os.open()? For example, io.open() could grow an additional argument "fd_opener" which defaults to the equivalent of os.open. Then creation mode can be expressed like this: open(filename, 'w', fd_opener=lambda path, mode: os.open(path, mode|os.O_CREAT) Another use case with openat (see #12797): open(filename, fd_opener=lambda path, mode: os.openat(fd, path, mode) ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12760> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
