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 ?
True. And not, imho, "bad programming"
