I've just checked in some enhancements to the fileinput module.

* fileno() to check the current file descriptor * mode argument to allow opening in universal newline mode * openhook argument to allow transparent opening of compressed or encoded files. Please feel free to comment.

hey, where's the PEP, the endless thread where the same arguments are repeated over and over again, the -1 vetos from the peanut gallery, and the mandatory off-topic subthreads?

(looks good to me. it might be idea to mention that hook_compressed uses the extension instead of the file signature to determine what de- compressor to use, though...)
