I added this cleaning up a fairly narrow Vista-only bug at the suggestion of Richard Bolt, and without being on Vista myself ;) (r4653). http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1841933&group_id=80706&atid=560720 This change was made post-0.91.1, so I don't believe it made it into a release. I've changed it to nested "try"s as suggested in the Python reference docs. > Shouldn't these be picked up by the garbage collector? Possibly, but the "finally" was there before I got there -- I assumed there was a need for it, and I didn't have Windows handy to test with.
