[Python-Dev] Exception type on handling closed files

[João Paulo Silva]

Look:

>>> a = file("dir/foo")
>>> a.close()
>>> a.read()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#28>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    a.read()
ValueError: I/O operation on closed file

Shoudn't this raise IOError? Seems more semantically correct to me.
