W00t, that sucks! You could migrate to another BSD (NetBSD) or Linux ... :)

No, the open() function of Python 2.7 will still use the file class
which in return uses fopen(). You could try to monkey patch the built-in
open() function. It's mostly API compatible with the current open()
function:

  >>> import io, __builtin__
  >>> __builtin__.open = io.open

It works as long as no codes checks for isinstance(obj, file). If your
app only has to worry about log files, you might want to overwrite the
_open() method of logging.FileHandler and its subclasses.
