Brendan Dolan-Gavitt <brenda...@gatech.edu> added the comment:

The _factory object didn't open the file, so why should it close it?

It's also worth noting that things one would naturally consider using as 
factories (like email.message_from_file) don't close the fd when they're done. 
I will grant that you could easily create a wrapper factory that does close the 
descriptor in this case, but that's not the obvious thing to do.
