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

import tempfile
import os
for idx in xrange(1024 + 1):
    outfd, outsock_path = tempfile.mkstemp()
    outsock = os.fdopen(outfd,'w')
    outsock.close()

Answer 2

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 )

Answer 3

Since mkstemp() returns a raw file descriptor, you can use os.close():

import os
from tempfile import mkstemp

for n in xrange(1024 + 1):
    f, path = mkstemp()
    # Do something with 'f'...
    os.close(f)
