New submission from Rob Austein <s...@hactrn.net>: .remove() method of MH class in the mailbox module of the standard library references a file object after closing it. This throws a ValueError exception (I/O operation on closed file).
The f.close() call just before the os.remove() call in the innermost try: block should just be removed, the finally: clause of the outer try: block will clean things up correctly. As far as I know it is completely legal (if slightly unusual) to delete an open file on any unix-like operating system, and the locking semantics won't work correctly otherwise in any case. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 97185 nosy: sraustein severity: normal status: open title: mailbox.MH.remove() lock handling is broken type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7627> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
