curious... maybe it's me, but I can't find a "What's New in Python" where this is said... also, in 2.6 docs (and also in 2.5) remains this footer: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#id14 http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/bltin-file-objects.html#foot4449 file() is new in Python 2.2. The older built-in open() is an alias for file(). -- Under construction -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
