Something like this? I put the following code in test_file.py:
class MyFile(file):
def doing_something(self):
print "in my own method"
And used it like this:
In [1]: import test_file
In [2]: f = test_file.MyFile("foobar.file", "w")
In [3]: f.write("foo\n")
In [4]: f.doing_something()
in my own method
But do you really need to subclass file, or can you just use a file
instance in your class?
