I vaguely remember an extension to the open() function that allowed code to specify the record type for a new file. I need to create a variable record length file rather than a stream_lf file from code like this:

f = open("x.com", "w")

Is this possible?

Hello,

it's not open but file which allow this.

Just do
Code:
help(file)
under Python you will have some examples.
