That's fine if os.close() is indeed used to close fd, but not if some third-party library uses the C close() function directly. I don't know how likely that is, but I think it's better to squash the bug completely, rather than 80% of it :-) (also some other stdlib code might (?) also call C close()...) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21207> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
