It looks like Django has a File object that wraps around Python's built-in file object. It offers a 'mode' attribute, and a read(num_bytes=None) / write([content]) function. It also offers __iter__ functionality. You must open the file, and then wrap it with File() like:

myfile = File(open('myfile.txt', 'r'))


Looking at twisted.python.filepath.FilePath, it looks like there is no read/write.

These are two very popular frameworks/libraries, but I'll see if I can't find other sources for inspiration.

I think read_bytes/read_text would offer a good alternative method for reading files, instead of trying to create a full-on replacement like the previous patches attempt to do.
