Currently you can use os.open() if you need platform-specific open flags such 
as Windows O_RANDOM, O_SEQUENTIAL, O_SHORT_LIVED, and O_TEMPORARY. The file 
descriptor can be passed to builtin open() to get a file object that owns the 
fd.

It might be more convenient if the os module had a function to translate an 
open() mode string into a combination of the flags O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR, 
O_CREAT, O_TRUNC, O_EXCL, and O_APPEND. Plus O_BINARY in Windows.
