[Python-Dev] io module types (original) (raw)

Can calls to the C types in the io module be made into module lookups more akin to how it would work were it written in Python? The C implementation for io_open invokes the C type objects for FileIO, and friends, instead of looking them up on the io or _io modules. This makes it difficult to subclass and/or modify the behaviour of those classes from Python.
