my mistake, I misunderstood your question

as Sreeram said, os.open can be used


help(os.open)

Help on built-in function open:

open(...)
     open(filename, flag [, mode=0777]) -> fd

     Open a file (for low level IO).


 >>> import os
 >>> fd=os.open("secret", os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREAT, 0400)
 >>> os.write(fd,"not for everybody")
17
 >>> os.close(fd)


ls -l secret
-r--------    1 root     root           17 2006-07-01 00:05 secret
