There are no file objects in 3.x. The file() function no longer
exists. The return value from open(), will be an instance of
_io.<something> depending upon the mode, e.g. _io.TextIOWrapper for 'r',
_io.BufferedReader for 'rb', _io.BufferedRandom for 'w+b', etc.
http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/io.html
io.IOBase.read() doesn't exist, io.RawIOBase.read(n) reads n bytes,
io.TextIOBase.read(n) reads n characters.
