When there are no more references to an open file object, will it close, or the file will just remain open, forever unreachable?
Even if Python didn't close the file it would effectively be closed when the process stopped running. The OS should see to that. (If it doesn't its not a very good OS! But there are a few bad OS out there...) So you shouldn't really ever wind up with a completely unreachable file due to it not being closed. Although it has happened to me in the past, I think most common OS should prevent that.
