Do you agree that the attached patch could be a practical solution ?
The patch is for the 2.6 version of the lib. Transposition to other versions should be trivial.
If we don't want to break backward compatibility, the solution is to add a optional behavior flag argument,
something like def __init__(self, file=None, sec_mode=False):
and have the default value be False for old versions and True for 3.3 and further.
