Even when programmers try to do the right thing, it is hard to know what the right thing is: there are trade-offs to be made, and having made a trade-off, the programmer then has to re-invent what usually turns out to be a quite complicated wheel. To do the right thing in Python often means delving into the world of os.O_* constants and file descriptors, which is intimidating and unpythonic. They're great for those who want/need them, but perhaps we should expose a Python interface to the more common operations? To my mind, that means classes instead of magic constants.
Would there be interest in a filetools module? Replies and discussion to python-ideas please.
Sure. +1 Also: a programmer is not (always) a filesystem expert. denis ------ la vita e estrany
