Please add a constant for O_NOATIME to the os module. -- Macro: int O_NOATIME If this bit is set, `read' will not update the access time of the file. *Note File Times::. This is used by programs that do backups, so that backing a file up does not count as reading it. Only the owner of the file or the superuser may use this bit. and possibly even a new character to the 'mode' paramter of the builtin 'open' function to do the same thing.

Added the constant in r59172. The behavior is way too special though to warrant a change to builtin open().
