closing file

[Marcello Pietrobon]

Hello,

Once I open a file, for example as:
class MyClass:
def logFileOpen( self ):
self.fdFilenameLog = file( self.filenameLog, 'a' )
return

I cannot find in hte documentation how to make sure the file are closed.

I guess that Python is closing all files at the end of the application
or when an Exception is raised

Is this true ?
Is the file closed when the destructor is called ? ( Internally because
I don't see a way to call a destructor in Python ).

Thank you very much,
Marcello

File objects have a close() method that you can call. See
