Python's built-in file objects are implemented entirely on the :ctype:`FILE\*`
support from the C standard library. This is an implementation detail and may
-change in future releases of Python.
-
-
-.. ctype:: PyFileObject
-
- This subtype of :ctype:`PyObject` represents a Python file object.
-
-
-.. cvar:: PyTypeObject PyFile_Type
-
- .. index:: single: FileType (in module types)
-
- This instance of :ctype:`PyTypeObject` represents the Python file type. This is
- exposed to Python programs as ``file`` and ``types.FileType``.
-
-
-.. cfunction:: int PyFile_Check(PyObject *p)
-
- Return true if its argument is a :ctype:`PyFileObject` or a subtype of
- :ctype:`PyFileObject`.
-
-
-.. cfunction:: int PyFile_CheckExact(PyObject *p)
-
- Return true if its argument is a :ctype:`PyFileObject`, but not a subtype of
- :ctype:`PyFileObject`.
+change in future releases of Python. The ``PyFile_`` APIs are a wrapper over
+the :mod:`io` module.

-.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyFile_Name(PyObject *p)
-
- Return the name of the file specified by *p* as a string object.

-
-.. cfunction:: void PyFile_SetBufSize(PyFileObject *p, int n)
-
- .. index:: single: setvbuf()
-
- Available on systems with :cfunc:`setvbuf` only. This should only be called
- immediately after file object creation.
-
-
-.. cfunction:: int PyFile_SetEncoding(PyFileObject *p, const char *enc)
-
- Set the file's encoding for Unicode output to *enc*. Return 1 on success and 0
- on failure.

-
-.. cfunction:: int PyFile_SoftSpace(PyObject *p, int newflag)
-
- .. index:: single: softspace (file attribute)
-
- This function exists for internal use by the interpreter. Set the
- :attr:`softspace` attribute of *p* to *newflag* and return the previous value.
- *p* does not have to be a file object for this function to work properly; any
- object is supported (thought its only interesting if the :attr:`softspace`
- attribute can be set). This function clears any errors, and will return ``0``
- as the previous value if the attribute either does not exist or if there were
- errors in retrieving it. There is no way to detect errors from this function,
- but doing so should not be needed.
