Summary: os.nullfilename
Initial Comment:
Just as the os library provides os.sep, etc., for the
current OS, it should provide the name of the null file
(e.g., "/dev/null" or "nul:"), so that there is a
portable way to open a null file.
Use of an object such as
class nullFile:
def write(self, data):
pass
is not sufficient because it does not provide a full
file object interface (no access to file descriptor, etc.).

I like this idea. It is more portable.
