The original open builtin was a thin wrapper around old C's stdio.open.
Open no longer has that constraint. After more discussion here, someone
could open a tracker issue with a specific proposal. Keep in mind that
'mode' is already a parameter name for the mode of opening, as opposed
to the permission mode for subsequent users.
I haven't seen the current code - I'd guess it just uses posix open.
open is io.open. io.py mostly just imports _io (from .c). That will do
whatever is appropriate for the platform.
So I would guess it wouldn't be difficult to add the creation mode argument.
On posix system, probably not. On windows, just ignore it, unless 'root'
can be mapped to 'admin'.
How about call it cr_mode?
Probably too cryptic. creation_mode possible.
