Although I haven't had a need for this in many years, it has occasionally been useful to reassign built-in open() to catch or log a particular file action. (IIRC, the last time I did this was before the resulting IOError included the filename argument.) A warning is fine -- even desirable. I'd want to make sure such debugging hacks didn't make it into a release. :) -Barry
