Please see: 
http://python.org/doc/current/lib/bltin-file-objects.html 
""" 
File objects also offer a number of other interesting attributes. 
These are not required for file-like objects, but should be 
implemented if they make sense for the particular object.  
"" 
 
"Should be" when they "make sense"  is my rational for 
reporting this as a bug. 
 
I found this by trying to convert existing code from a normal 
open of /dev/dsp to ossaudiodev.open(), that IMO "should" 
have worked.  : P 
 
Other attributes that "should be" implemented  (mode and 
name) because they "make sense" may also be missing...I 
haven't checked.

>From Lib Ref 14.11 ossaudiodev "open( [device, ]mode) 

Open an audio device and return an OSS audio device object.

"

Checking http://python.org/doc/current/lib/ossaudio-device-

objects.html 14.11.1 Audio Device Objects I can find no 

mention of closed attribute or indeed of any attributes other 

than methods.  Why were you expecting such?  If report is a 

mistake, please close.
