<pedantic>Not 100%. ;-)</pedantic> You close when the GC collects the object, which *may* be later than when losing the reference. In this case, this does not matter at all, but that's the reason why file-like objects should *always* have a close() method - otherwise there would be no way to make sure that it gets closed at a certain time.
