Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: Yes, in 2.7 many parts of the stdlib relies on reference counting to close files. But 3.2 introduced a ResourceWarning which is emitted (in debug mode) each time a __del__ closes a valuable resource like a file or a socket. This was done exactly for this reason - help other implementations with a different garbage collector.
Now Lib/zipfile.py is probably much more gc-friendly: see how it uses a new member "close_fileobj", and the "with" statement in ZipFile.read(). PyPy will benefit of this when it migrates to 3.2; meanwhile, you could apply the same changes in pypy's own copy of zipfile.py. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc resolution: -> out of date status: open -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13133> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
