There is no builtin file type in 3.x.
Besides, it is not an ABC-level problem; the IO layer is written in C
(although there's still the Python implementation to play with), which
would mandate an abstract C API to access unicode-like objects
(similarly as there's already the buffer API to access bytes-like
objects).
