what docs?
"open" is the preferred way to open a file. "file" is a type constructor.
in contemporary python, they happen to map to the same callable, but
that's not necessarily something that will also apply to future releases.

instead of saying that something "doesn't seem to work", it's always
more helpful to explain what happens. do you get a traceback? what
does the traceback say?
