update_tests.py:obstructed_update_alters_wc_props broken?

I'm getting this failure:

$ .../update_tests.py 25
UNEXPECTED EXCEPTION:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pm/sw/subversion/svn/subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/svntest/testcase.py", line 105, in run
    rc = apply(self.pred.func, args)
  File "/home/pm/sw/subversion/svn/subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/update_tests.py", line 787, in obstructed_update_alters_wc_props
    file(obstruction_path, 'w')
NameError: global name 'file' is not defined
FAIL: update_tests.py 25: obstructed update alters WC properties

The patch below fixes it for me, but I don't understand how the test
ever worked. Am I the only one seeing this? I'm using Python 2.1.3,
does this test work on some other version?
