Thank you for the clarification. In my system the user limit is 1024. I can confirm that raise the current limit with: ```bash $ ulimit -n 4096 ``` fixed the problem. > A solution to the error "Too many open files" would be to open the files/maps > one at a time and closing them again, similar to the -z flag of r.series. I was trying to understand where these file are opened, and it seems to me that the python code is always opening and closing all the files, It is not clear to me which ctypes function is just opening the files without closing them.
