No problem. The docs should have a note mentioning when it was
introduced I guess.

Title:
  Unable to use 'filething' to open files in mutagen.mp3.MP3

Status in mutagen package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,  I have been trying to 'override' the file open parameters in the
  MP3 module to improve scan performance of a large music library, using
  python3-mutagen.

  I can't get the supplied example to work: I get the following output:

  $ python3 fileobj-gio.py
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "fileobj-gio.py", line 130, in <module>
      print(mutagen.File(mutagen_file).pprint())
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mutagen/_file.py", line 239, in File
      with open(filename, "rb") as fileobj:
  TypeError: invalid file: <__main__.GioMutagenFile object at 0x7f204fba4be0>

  Looking through the code I can't see how it would treat a 'file-like
  object' any differently: it seems that open(filename,"rb") will always
  be called.

  What I want to achieve is to understand if different buffering would
  improve elapsed time to scan large numbers of files.  I was hoping to
  open the file first using different buffering parameter and pass a
  file-object to MP3, but the only documented way of doing this using
  open() is by passing the fileno() attribute of an already open file,
  which also fails on the open statement:

  m=MP3(f.fileno())
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mutagen/_file.py", line 42, in __init__
      self.load(filename, *args, **kwargs)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mutagen/id3/__init__.py", line 1092, in load
      with open(filename, "rb") as fileobj:
  OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

  Any advice would be most welcome on either how to fix the bug or other
  ways to improve scan performance.   Thanks for your help.
