Hello,

I was looking at the possibility of replacing the SEEK* constants by IntEnums, and the first thing that catches attention is that these constants are defined in both Lib/os.py and Lib/io.py; both places also recently started supporting SEEKHOLE and SEEKDATA (though here io refers to os.SEEKHOLE and os.SEEKDATA).

What is the runtime cost of doing so? os is a fundamental module that is imported by almost every Python program.

Regards

Antoine.
