Jesús Cea Avión <j...@jcea.es> added the comment: In "help(open)" I see this:
""" file is either a text or byte string giving the name (and the path if the file isn't in the current working directory) of the file to be opened or an integer file descriptor of the file to be wrapped. (If a file descriptor is given, it is closed when the returned I/O object is closed, unless closefd is set to False.) """ So, file descriptors are allowed. The interpreter shutdowns because your are closing STDIN. This is correct, in my opinion. Closing this bug as "invalid". If you think this is an error, feel free to argue. ---------- resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12969> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
