This already works, even without the patch.

May you elaborate?
#+begin_src python :results file
implies that the result of execution is file _contents_.

This is not acceptable. If src blocks worked in the past, they should
continue working without adjustments in user' setup. We can only break
backwards-compatibility when there is a strong reason to do so. Adding a
new feature is not such a reason.
