I think, I can figure an example of such 'dependance'. This code:
    open(filename, 'w').write('spam ' + open(filename, 'r').read())
does not save 'spam' plus the old file contents, as I expected firstly. 
The result is just 'spam'. At the other hand, using file handles we can 
make it work as expected.
