I've just noticed that (in 2.3.4) open() seems to accept
just about anything after the first character of the
mode argument:
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Jun 30 2004, 16:47:37)
[GCC 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> f = open("DU", "rqwerty")
>>>
