Think "interfaces". Given that you wrote the file storage stuff and are no doubt aware that we still have lots of fuzzy issues where something may or may not be able to be used where a Python file object is used, you can probably see that there are some uses for this. > I > just wanted to make sure I knew now if there was any plan to support > them in the near future, There may well be a plan. I, personally, don't have a plan right this minute because Python 2.6 is too new and is just one of many Python versions we support. Trying to predict the future in open source is generally going to be hard. All you can really do is put in a note saying "this is accurate as of this date" (something that's been unfortunately lacking in previous Django books, so please convince your editor to put something in of that nature).
