Oh please NO! Either implement it correctly, or raise a ValueError if it is supplied and not whatever means "default open". A huge -1000 for arguments that have meaning but are ignored. This is why I'm -1 to start with: a file permission bitmap is a posix.open() value. It does not map portably to the general open(). -- Cameron Simpson <c...@zip.com.au> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ This calls for a really stupid and futile gesture. - Strayhorn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
