Hi Shai, You probably meant CPython ;-) I believe this change will improve consistency with other Python implementations, notably PyPy. Following your reasoning, we should also stop bothering about closing files, as Python will do it. But that's a bad practice and Python 3.3+ even raises warnings in that situation. Is there a difference between file descriptors and cursors (in practice TCP sockets) that justifies treating them differently?
