It is also a good idea to open files with the open() function and not the
file() function. *They do the exact same thing, and take the exact same
parameters, just open() makes your code a bit more readable (or at least
that's what I think).

The main point with open I think is to easy later evolution. While you could
override "file" name as well as "open" by a custom funcion, it's a bad idea
to override the name of the type because a simple isinstance(file_, file)
won't work anymore if you do so.
