File objects are implemented using C's \code{stdio} package and can be
created with the built-in function
\function{open()}\bifuncindex{open} described in section
\ref{built-in-funcs}, ``Built-in Functions.'' They are also returned
created with the built-in constructor
\function{file()}\bifuncindex{file} described in section
\ref{built-in-funcs}, ``Built-in Functions.''\footnote{\function{file()}
is new in Python 2.2. The older built-in \function{open()} is an
alias for \function{file()}.}
They are also returned
by some other built-in functions and methods, such as
\function{os.popen()} and \function{os.fdopen()} and the
\method{makefile()} method of socket objects.
