In the general sense, no, but you may be able to abuse things terribly by calling __init__ on an existing object. The only advantage of that would be if you have multiple references to the file object, so normally don't - just close it and reopen. You can't change access/share mode on the file system without closing and reopening, so ultimately that's going to have to happen. As a separate point, can you please use a better client than Google Groups? It's buggy and your posts come out looking ugly. There are other news clients, or you can sign up for the email list here: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
