I agree that asking for config.open() isn't the right answer here (even if it happens to work). But in this example, once 3.5.2 is out, the solution would be to use open(config.path), and that will also work when passing it to a library. Is it still unacceptable then? -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
