This shadows the builtin open() function.

You can use Steven's solution, or keep a reference to the builtin open()
function before defining your own open() function:
builtin_open = open
def open(fname, mode):
return SpecialFile(fname, mode):
class SpecialFile(object):
def __init__(self, fname, mode):
self.f = builtin_open(fname, mode)
