This is really strange. I still cannot reproduce the error.

Wouldn't that be:

class pdbdict0(dict):
    def __init__(self):
        super(pdbdict0, self).__init__(self)
        self['header'] = ''
        self['compnd'] = []

or better:

def bdbdict0():
    return {"header": "", "compnd": []}

While the pdbdict0 implementation seems broken, I have no clue what causes
the file to be closed.

Totally unrelated: Don't use list and type as variable names. They are
already used as built-in classes.
