openhook

[Gaudha]

Can anybody tell me what is meant by 'openhook' ?

 

[Steven D'Aprano]

Certainly someone can.

It's just like closehook, only different.

OK -- kidding aside, the only python related reference I find is in a
proposal and patch [1] made by Anthony Roy for changes to the fileinput
module. It's an argument passed into FileInput class initialization and
apparently allows for a custom file open routine to be used to open the
target file -- ergo openhook - a hook for opening.
