How do I close the files from tempfile.mkstemp?

Question

On my machine Linux machine ulimit -n gives 1024. This code:

from tempfile import mkstemp

for n in xrange(1024 + 1):
    f, path =         


        

Answer 1

Use os.close() to close the file descriptor:

import os
from tempfile import mkstemp

# Open a file
fd, path = mkstemp()  

# Close opened file
os.close( fd )
