[Python-Dev] 2.1c1: test_zipfile fails on FreeBSD

[Mark Favas]

FreeBSD 4.2-20010225-STABLE, gcc 2.95.2

./python Lib/test/test_zipfile.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Lib/test/test_zipfile.py", line 35, in ?
    zipTest(file, zipfile.ZIP_STORED, writtenData)
  File "Lib/test/test_zipfile.py", line 18, in zipTest
    zip.close()
  File "/home/mark/src/python/CVS/python/dist/src/Lib/zipfile.py", line
471, in close
    self.fp.flush()
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

Looks like FreeBSD objects to doing a flush() on a file opened for
reading. The self.fp.flush() call should probably be part of the
preceding if-block relating to files opened in "a" or "w' mode.
