Hi All, Up to now I when I need to write some data to a file I have been purposely using close()
f = open(conf, 'w') f.writelines(lines) f.close() Is it as safe to use the following .... open(conf, 'w').writelines(lines) ie no close() to flush the data, but also not assigned an object name so am I right in thinking that as the object is 'reclaimed' close() is automatically called ?
