[New-bugs-announce] [issue26607] Rename a parameter in the function PyFile_FromFile

[Mansour Moufid]

New submission from Mansour Moufid:

Hi,

The last parameter of the function PyFile_FromFile is named 'close', but is a pointer to a function with the prototype of the 'fclose' function in libc. The mismatch causes confusion for some static analysis tools.

This patch renames the parameter to 'fclose'. Note that everywhere else PyFile_FromFile is called, that argument is always named fclose or pclose (or NULL), this was the one exception.

Thanks for your time.
