See also issue 12105. A couple downsides: - O_EXCL is not necessarily portable (doesn't work well with NFS, maybe not on Windows?) - O_EXCL is useful, as is O_CLOEXEC: to be consistent, we should also end up adding all other commonly-used flags, which are really OS-specific Furthermore, you can achieve the same thing with: os.fdopen(os.open('/etc/fstab', os.O_WRONLY\|os.O_CLOEXEC\|os.O_CREAT)) it's more verbose, though.
