New submission from Martin Panter: I think the documentation is rather vague about closing the underlying OS socket. Can someone verify if the following is true (*asterisked* bits are my additions), and maybe update the documentation?
socket.close(): Close the socket *object*. *The underlying file descriptor is also closed, unless there are file objects from makefile() still open.* socket.makefile(): Closing the file object won’t close the *file descriptor* unless *the original socket object and any other file objects have already been closed*. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 205200 nosy: docs@python, vadmium priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Closing a socket when makefile() is used type: behavior versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19882> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
