This issue is fixed in Python 3.2 beta 2:
--------
$ ./python
>>> f=open("/dev/full", "wb")
>>> f.write(b'x')
1
>>> f.close()
IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device
>>> ^D
sys:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.BufferedWriter name='/dev/full'>
sys:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.FileIO name='/dev/full' mode='wb'>
--------
If you would like to get the error earlier, disable the buffer (which is not completly possible for a text file, Python requires at least a line buffer).
Backport the fix to Python 3.1 is not a good idea because it may break programs using Python 3.1.
