[New-bugs-announce] [issue5174] xmlrpclib docs include incorrect file closing

[Calvin Spealman]

New submission from Calvin Spealman <ironfroggy at users.sourceforge.net>:

The following example from the xmlrpclib docs has an obviously erronous 
call to close() after the actual return. 
(http://docs.python.org/library/xmlrpclib.html)

def python_logo():
     handle = open("python_logo.jpg")
     return xmlrpclib.Binary(handle.read())
     handle.close()

The patch included also makes the whitespace PEP-8 compliant.
