> So the core issue seems to be: the filename being the only file handle. Lose the name and you lose the file. I agree it shouldn't be like this. For instance you can have an iterator that returns some opaque FileObject that does not really care about the name. Does Python have this?
Yes. listdir(x) where x is bytes returns the raw filenames as bytes.
