Awaiting your patch ;-). Ok, here it is; shamelessly copied from fileobject.c.

Amaury, please upload your patches to the SF bug tracker, and assign them to me. I will (hopefully) look into them tomorrow.

BTW, what is the status of this fileobject? open() doesn't seem to use it anymore. Will file() be removed at some point?

Now testfileio passes on Windows, with the exception of testAbles(): since c:\dev is an existing directory on my machine, /dev/tty is a regular file and is seekable... Maybe skip this test on win32? I have a couple of other corrections, found by randomly playing with the tests functions... shall I post the corrections here as well?

See above: posting them to the tracker makes sure they don't get lost.

Thanks, Thomas
