http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/tutorial/inputoutput.html#methods-of-
file-objects

Is it proper to discuss file objects in py3K?

Why shouldn't it be? One of the goals of 3.x io is to present a more
pythonic interface while preserving a similar interface to 2.x. Users
can learn about the complete io stack later.

File objects should not be discussed in the tutorial to emphasize that
the file type is gone.

File objects should be in the tutorial as a useful familiar concept.

I don't understand. These statements seem contradictory to me.

What exactly do you want changed?

I found nothing in that document that refers to file objects as seen in
Python 2, e.g. the "file" type.  I'd still refer to all of Python 3's IO
objects as "file objects".
