New submission from Ulrich Eckhardt <eckha...@satorlaser.com>: In _fileio.c, there is the following comment: "Returns 0 on success, errno (which is < 0) on failure." The problem here is the claim that errno ever was less than zero, which is simply wrong.
You can see this being a problem with the following few lines: import os, io fd = os.open( "some existing file", os.O_RDONLY) s1 = os.fdopen(fd) s2 = io.open(fd) os.close(fd) s1.close() s2.close() The call to close() pulls the file from under the feet of the two stream objects, but only the one opened with os.fdopen() actually detects that. For the second one, errno is set, but to a positive value which isn't detected correctly. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 79120 nosy: eckhardt severity: normal status: open title: io's close() not handling errors correctly type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4841> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
