I want to use urlopen() to open either a http://... file or a local file File:C:/... I don't have problems opening and reading the file either way. But when I run the script on a server (ArcGIS server), the request won't complete if it was trying to open a local file. Even though I call close() in either case, something seemed to be preventing the script to complete if urlopen is trying to open a local file. I wonder if there is anything else I should do in the code to kill the file descriptor, or if it is a known issue that something is leaking
When running the script standalone, this is not an issue. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
