Christian Heimes added the comment: I've another argument against your proposal:
open() always wraps a operating system resource and not some Python object. At the lowest level open() interacts with a file descriptor (aka file handler on Windows). I don't like to break the promise. Lot's of 3rd party extensions don't support file-like objects because they wrap C libraries that either need a path, a file descriptor or a FILE* pointer. ---------- nosy: +christian.heimes resolution: rejected -> status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16122> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
