Actually, no, it doesn't. You forgot the () which are needed to actually _call_ the close method on the last line. self.fh.close is an expression which evaluates to the close method object belonging to the file object self.fh belonging to the object instance in play here. self.fh.close() on the other hand, takes that method and calls it, and evaluates to whatever that method call returns. > : When you start the subprocess, is it being started in the directory > : you think it is? > > Well...
