This triggered my to dig into this a bit. This is not fixed untill python 3.1 but seems easilly added to the ZipFile class. My attempt to backport this from python 3.1's gzip.py below seems to work. Greets Sander import gzip class myGzipFile(gzip.GzipFile): def __enter__(self): if self.fileobj is None: raise ValueError("I/O operation on closed GzipFile object") return self def __exit__(self, *args): self.close() zfilepath = r'C:\test.gz' s = 'This is a test' with myGzipFile(zfilepath,'w') as output: output.write(s) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
