"file" is a type, not a function, and has been removed in 3.0.given that "file" is hardly ever used in properly written Python 2 code (if you need to check for file-like behaviour in Python 2, check for the relevant attributes), assigning to "file" is a lot less problematic than assigning to "len" or "str" or "open" etc.
