Thanks; maybe something like that will do, and it sparks a stray thought: would it be worth making the file wrapper class in posixfile.py a subclass of file?

Given that the documentation for posixfile delares it to be (essentially) obsolete, I thnk the answer is "no". Code that is obsolete should not be touched as long as it continues to pass any relevant tests and there are no reported bugs.
