From: "Andrew Koenig" <ark-mlist at att.net>

(I'm feeling slightly pedantic today, so I want to say that the proposal doesn't make it any easier to identify modules that engage in I/O -- it makes it easier to identify modules that assuredly do not engage in I/O.

u = urllib.urlopen('http://www.python.org') s = shelve.open('persistantmap.shl') logging.basicConfig('events.log')
