Nope, not in that way. But you might consider writing a proxy/wrapper
for an object. That looks like this (rouch sketch from head):
class FileWrapper(object):
def __init__(self, f):
self._f = f
def __getattr__(self, name):
return getattr(self._f, name)
def myreadline(self):
....
Then you do
f = FileWrapper(open(name, mode))
