Closing a file can (I believe) raise an exception. Is that documented anywhere? I've spent a lot of frustrating time trying to track this down, with no luck, which suggests that either my google-foo is weak or that it isn't documented. Is IOError the only exception it can raise?
The only thing I have found is this: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2004-November/026031.html Out of curiosity, is there a simple way to demonstrate close() raising an exception that doesn't involve messing about with disk quotas? -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
