Even if Python didn't close the file it would effectively be closed 
when the process stopped running. The OS should see to that.
(If it doesn't its not a very good OS! But there are a few bad 
OS out there...) So you shouldn't really ever wind up with a 
completely unreachable file due to it not being closed. Although 
it has happened to me in the past, I think most common OS 
should prevent that.
