bpo-43680: _pyio.open() becomes a static method by vstinner · Pull Request #25354 · python/cpython (original) (raw)
The Python _pyio.open() function becomes a static method to behave as
io.open() built-in function: don't become a bound method when stored
as a class variable. It becomes possible since static methods are now
callable in Python 3.10. Moreover, _pyio.OpenWrapper becomes a simple
alias to _pyio.open.
init_set_builtins_open() now sets builtins.open to io.open, rather
than setting it to io.OpenWrapper, since OpenWrapper is now an alias
to open in the io and _pyio modules.
