io already refers to os.SEEK_HOLE/DATA, at least in the documentation).

Any ideas and suggestions are welcome,

Ideally we should only define them once.

If these are values that could change per O/S then they should be in the os module. Since they /can/ change per O/S (even if they don't currently), we should put them in os.

I'd say it's worth the extra 0.5ms startup time.
