It looks like as of Python 3.4, O_CLOEXEC is the default, and you don't 
need to specify "e". See the words "The newly-created file is 
non-inheritable" in the docs for `open`:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#open
https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#fd-inheritance

(PEP 0446 is non-obviously mentioned in a page linked from the page you 
linked.)
