I stumbled over this one, too. I'd blame the netrc module for blindly opening the file (see http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/netrc.py#l31).

A simple workaround:

this is fixed in the develop branch, see commit cddddc62cd7cb112009ec14bc40d358bcf27b0dd I will probably release a 0.4.1 version containing this and some more fixes.
