It seems the existing ‘open’ implementation doesn't allow you to
override the type of object returned.
The question is, can you assign to the builtin namespace. I'm guessing
you can't.
Of course you can.
Python2:
>>> __builtins__.open = "whatever"
>>>
Python3:
>>> import builtins
>>> builtins.open = "whatever"

Of course doing so is like shooting yourself in the foot: Any
subsequent pain is your own fault and probably well deserved.

Within a module, you can simply do:
open = MyFile
Also, in other modules, you can:
from myfile import open
