After Hrvoje's message, let me rephrase my suggestion. Let's instead allow:
   open(..., sync_on="close")
   open(..., sync_on="flush")

with a default of None meaning no implicit syncs.

That looks good, though I'd prefer using named constants rather than
strings.


I would agree, but where do you put them? Since open is a built-in,
where would you suggest placing such constants (assuming we don't want
to pollute the built-in namespace)?



I actually prefer strings. Just like 'w' or 'r' in open().

Or why not add "f" "c" as modes?

open('file.txt', 'wf')

open for writing, sync on flush
