I want to use urlopen() to open either a http://... file or a local

either way.  But when I run the script on a server (ArcGIS server),
the request won't complete if it was trying to open a local file.
Even though I call close() in either case, something seemed to be
preventing the script to complete if urlopen is trying to open a local
file.  I wonder if there is anything else I should do in the code to
kill the file descriptor, or if it is a known issue that something is
leaking

When running the script standalone, this is not an issue.

I don't know about the ArcGIS server, but leaking a file descriptor usually is not a reason to not finish a request. I'd look into the server log files for any errors. The server might be configured to not allow open() of arbitrary files, by example. This seems more an ArcGIS question than a Python one.

Just to be sure, "local file" in this context means "local to the server", ok? An url like "file://c:/path/..." (note the differences with yours) is only meaningful if the server is running Windows, ok?
