Benjamin Peterson added the comment:

So, this is supposed to be a kludge for 3rd-party libraries that don't support 
using file objects? Immediately calling open() isn't necessarily what such a 
library will do. It could process the path somehow. Anyway, it's not clear what 
the semantics of the wrapper open() would return would be.

I'm going to close this. If you want to push it, you can bring it up on the 
python-ideas mailing list.
