They're special. I suppose because of internal dependencies - last chance exception handler etc. - they are created without a close function, internally, so close() has no effect. I don't know if it really makes any sense, since anyway one may close the file descriptors directly as you did. Donn Cave, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
