Well, paramiko's file() acts like pythons file(), which takes the "wb"
flags, not O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, etc.
I think he was trying to find a way to do it inside the same text
string. Though I think it might actually work better to have another
field for "extra_flags" or something like that.

O_CREAT, etc, but the default python file open is more like fopen()
