I haven't used it, but does the ‘opener’ parameter do what you want?

    open(file, mode='r', buffering=-1, encoding=None,
             errors=None, newline=None, closefd=True, opener=None) ->
             file object

    […]

    A custom opener can be used by passing a callable as *opener*. The
    underlying file descriptor for the file object is then obtained by
    calling *opener* with (*file*, *flags*). *opener* must return an
    open file descriptor (passing os.open as *opener* results in
    functionality similar to passing None).
