	Maybe it's been removed, but from the help file for my installation

doc> file( filename[, mode[, bufsize]])

doc> Constructor function for the file type, described further in
section 3.9, ``File Objects''. The constructor's arguments are the same
as those of the open() built-in function described below. 
doc> When opening a file, it's preferable to use open() instead of
invoking this constructor directly. file is more suited to type testing
(for example, writing "isinstance(f, file)").
