amaury> The patch is fine.

Cool :-) Anyone to commit the fix? Maybe, tarek?

I like the idea but it should be proposed in a new issue :-) I 
proposed an API change for open() (issue #4121) but it was rejected by 
Guido:

"(...) Beyond 3.0, I'm still rather reluctant -- I expect most users 
will be wise and use keyword args anyway; I'm not sure what we buy by 
forcing this. (...)"

But walk() is a different case than open().
