New submission from Jake Lever <jake.le...@gmail.com>: The attached code is designed to output compressed data to a gzip file. It creates two GzipFile objects, but only one is really used. It seems that it doesn't clean up and close the file properly.
In Py2, the attached code will fail. The output file (debug.txt.gz) will be corrupt. However if the self.unused line is commented out, it works and the file is not corrupted. In Py3, a sys.exit call at the end is required to see the same behaviour. As example output, when the sys.exit is include in Py3, the output is below and the file is corrupt. Compressor.__init__ UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write Compressor.compressToFile And when the sys.exit is commented out, the console output is below and the file is not corrupt. Compressor.__init__ UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write Compressor.compressToFile UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write UnusedClass.write ---------- files: gzipBug.py messages: 303662 nosy: Jake Lever priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: GZip library doesn't properly close files type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.6 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file47189/gzipBug.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31686> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
