[pypy-dev] What's wrong with >>> open(?xxx?, ?w?).write(?stuff?) ?

[William Leslie]

It seems you too have missed the difference between deleting some reference
to the object (as del does) and finalising.

IIRC, an explicit call to del should kick off the finalizer to flush
and close the file!

open('x', 'w').write('hello') alone does not imply the file instance
(return value of open()) has been finalized because the garbage
collector may not have hit it yet.

Jython and IronPython are pretty much guaranteed to behave differently
under a wide variety of circumstances when it comes to the garbage
collector. Do not rely on the garbage collector for program semantics!

Because Sakesun has used "del f" it should be quite a concern that the
file has not been finalized properly!
