Bug is most likely platform specific.  Can someone suggest how this
should be handled on multiple platforms?

Mike, can you report on which platform you encountered the bug on?
Can you provide a script that reproduces the bug?

On Mac OS 10.4, Python 2.5 I could not create a file:
>>> f=open('\xed', 'w')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: invalid mode: w

I will submit this as a separate bug because the error
message sould say 'invalid file name' instead of 'invalid mode'.
