[dom0]

I/O isn't pure code.

[xapata → dom0]

That's certainly one way to interpret "pure Python" but many people use that phrase to describe code that is using only builtins and standard library as opposed to community-supplied C extensions.

I honestly disagree, but I do recognize how one could see it that way.

Yeah, it's a bit of a leaky abstraction since many modules in the standard library are implemented in C. And the interpreter itself.
