Maybe a weird idea, but why not use static methods on the bytes and str type objects for this ?!

E.g. bytes.openfile(...) and unicode.openfile(...) (in 3.0 renamed to str.openfile())

That's also not a bad idea, but I'd leave off one or the other of the redudant "open" and "file" parts. E.g. bytes.open() and unicode.open() seem fine to me (we all know what 'open' means, right? :).
