Python 2:
>>> len(open('chars','wb').write("".join(map (chr,range(256)))).read())
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'read'
I could be facetous and say "None.read", but more seriously, what are
you trying to say here? How do I write a 256-byte file with one byte
for each value? bytes(range(256)) gives you the bytestring you want. I
simply don't see your point here.

OK, but can you fight by giving arguments as to why it's better than
the plethora of alternatives that have been suggested? Or
counter-arguments to the objections that have been raised to the
proposal?
