Guido van Rossum added the comment: Let's not get overexcited. I agree that it makes sense for fileinput, but I disagree about *StringIO; its close() isn't needed to free resources (since it doesn't use up a scarce resource like a file descriptor).
Can you whip up a patch for fileinput? Please include unit tests and documentation. ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum priority: -> low versions: -Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1286> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
