The wrapper approach has the virtue of providing easy access to the underlying file object and its methods. That actually gets a bit more difficult when you switch to a subclassing approach (you need to either explicitly qualify the methods or play around with super()). The wrapper approach also has the virtue of being a valid candidate for backport to 2.5.2, while that is most definitely not the case for making file fully subclassable. If you would like to pursue that idea further, I suggest opening a separate issue for it.

The wrapper approach also has the virtue of being a valid candidate for
backport to 2.5.2, while that is most definitely *not* the case for
making file fully subclassable. If you would like to pursue that idea
further, I suggest opening a separate issue for it.
