IMO, yes. My posting was intended to draw attention to the fact that apparently some developers think differently. I'm hoping to revert their opinions unless there's a really good reason to switch to file().
+1 from me. We've been using "open()" to mean open for about as long as there have been Python programs, right? I don't see any value to changing the name at this point, and I see harm in having inconsistent use of open vs. file in the standard library.
