You could also put asserts (and expressions which assert the presence of

Nice idea—that seems to give more flexibility, but (probably) makes it harder 
to implement.

I would love to write:

     assert hasattr(file_like, 'read') and hasattr(file_like, 'write')

Or maybe:

     assert file_like.read and file_like.write

I actually expect something like this:

    file_like.read(0)
    file_like.write("")

No assert statements, just straight-line code that is supposed to be easy to analyze. If the analyzer cannot use the information that file_like must have a callable read attribute that takes an integer argument, it could still use the information that a "read" attribute must be present.
