Senthil Kumaran <sent...@uthcode.com> added the comment: well, urlopen does return an file like object for socket connection which closes itself when it goes out of scope, as you raised this bug, I think a more explicit context manager like behavior can be tried. But I am afraid that it would complex to implement with the module than it sounds.
I see some example illustrated like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1522636/should-i-call-close-after-urllib-urlopen import contextlib with contextlib.closing(urllib.urlopen(u)) as x: ...use x at will here... But it would be good to have this ticket as a feature request open. ---------- assignee: -> orsenthil nosy: +orsenthil status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12365> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
