Well, I think I found a reason and it probably happens quite a bit. I open the file and read it into a list. I pop some elements from the list for processing and then write the shortened list back to disk to be available for other functions to access later, where later varies from seconds to days. There is no need to keep the file open till after the processing so I wish to write/flush/close right away. jvh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
