class MyTextIO(io.TextIOWrapper):
 def __init__(self, *args, **kw):
 super().__init__(*args, **kw)
 self.commented = 0
 def write(self, s):
 if s.startswith('#'):
 self.commented += 1
 super().write(s)
buffered = open(name, 'wb')
textio = MyTextIO(buffered, encoding='utf-8')
textio.write('line 1')
textio.write('# line 2')
textio.close()
print(textio.commented)
