Sorry, I am just providing pseudo code since I the code i have is quite large.

As I mentioned, the code works fine when I remove the multirpcessing stuff so 
the filename is not the issue (though you are right in your correction).

Someone with the same problem posted a smaller, more complete example here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/948119/preventing-file-handle-inheritance-in-multiprocessing-lib

None of the solutions posted work.

(BTW: it's better form to reply beneath the original text, not above it.)

None of the solutions try the obvious thing of closing the file before spawning more processes. Would that work for you? A "with" statement is a convenient way to do this:

    with open(filename,'r') as f:
        data = f.read()

The file is closed automatically when the with statement ends.

I have a function that looks like the following:


That doesn't look like a function

Your filename is most probably wrong. It should be something like:



filename = 'c:/testfile.h5'

filename = 'c:\\testfile.h5'

filename = r'c:\testfile.h5'
