Python 3.2 | WIndows 7 -- Multiprocessing and files not closing

[Isaac Gerg]

Sorry, I am just providing pseudo code since I the code i have is quite large.

As I mentioned, the code works fine when I remove the multirpcessing stuff so the filename is not the issue (though you are right in your correction).

Someone with the same problem posted a smaller, more complete example here:

None of the solutions posted work.
