[issue18815] DOCUMENTATION: "mmap .close()" doesn't close the underlying file
New submission from Jesús Cea Avión: In documentation http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/mmap.html#mmap.close you can read: "Close the file". I could interpret that it is going to close the file vinculated to the MMAP. But it doesn't. It only close the MMAP object (as it should). Please, update doc to clear possible misunderstandings. Thanks. ---------- assignee: docs@python keywords: easy messages: 195939 nosy: docs@python, jcea priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: DOCUMENTATION: "mmap .close()" doesn't close the underlying file _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18815> _______________________________________
Anoop Thomas Mathew added the comment: Made it explicit that close() will close only the mmap, and file will not be closed. Patch attached. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +Anoop.Thomas.Mathew Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file31689/mmap_close_documentation.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18815> _______________________________________
