In the future, I could see open() become a factory function again that could return an instance of a different class depending on the mode argument, the default encoding for files, or who knows what; but file will always remain a class.
How is this case different from the whole unicode.encode thread and the worry of having different types of objects returned based on the argument? I would assume that any objects returned would follow the file interface roughly.
