Hi, Does anyone see a problem with doing: data = file("tata").read()
Each time this is done, I see a new file descriptor allocated (Linux) but not released. 1) Will there ever be a point where I will have a problem with file descriptors because the garbage collector has _not_ yet collected the file objects? 2) When I subclassed the file object as follows: ----- class MyFile(file): def close(self): print "MyFile.close()" file.close(self) ----- and did a simple 'MyFile("tata")' I did not see a call to MyFile.close(). Am I wrong to have expected MyFile.close() to have been called? 3) There is no file.__del__() as far as I can tell at the Python level. Are files opened by the calls above properly closed when the objects are destroyed and collected? Thanks, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
