[New-bugs-announce] [issue8614] test_gzip fails on OS X

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

test_buffered_reader test_gzip is failing for me since r80720, on trunk on OS X 10.6.3:

======================================================================

Here's a minimal Python script that produces the failure:

import gzip
import io

f = gzip.GzipFile('hamster', 'wb')
f.write("some data")
f.close()

f = gzip.GzipFile('hamster', 'rb')
r = io.BufferedReader(f)
lines = [line for line in r]
r.close()

This gives the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_gzip.py", line 11, in <module>
    r.close()
  File "/Users/dickinsm/python/svn/trunk/Lib/gzip.py", line 365, in flush
    self.fileobj.flush()
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
