SEEK_SET defined?

[Roger Miller]

I see that the posixfile module is deprecated. Have the SEEK_SET, etc.
constants moved somewhere else, or do I need to define them myself?

In Python 2.5 they have been added to the os module, but for now I think
you are probably expected to just continue using posixfile or define
them yourself.

If you did define them yourself, maybe this would be best, given the
current situation:

import os
try:
os.SEEK_SET
except AttributeError:
os.SEEK_SET, os.SEEK_CUR, os.SEEK_END = range(3)
