STINNER Victor added the comment:

Since this change seems to break the backward compatibility, is it safe to 
apply it to Python 3.5.x and Python 3.6.x? The bug was reported in 2009, 7 
years ago. Can the fix wait for Python 3.7?

test_file contains code which worked well before the change and started to 
crash after the change. If it occurs for an application, I expect users to be 
unhappy of getting such "behaviour change" in a minor release, no?

Is it possible to prevent the crash of test_file without modifying its code 
(without the change 4a610bc8577b "Change order of io.UnsupportedOperation base 
classes")? Sorry, I didnd't follow this issue.
