[Tutor] File IO flush

[Sander Sweers]

Hello All, I was playing around with the zipfile module and wrote a
simple script to unzip a zip file. I then looked around on the
internet and found the recipe 252508 [1] on the active state cookbook
website.

In this recipe the author calls flush() and then close() on a file
object being written to disk. Now I understand what flush does but
would close() also flush the buffers to disk?

Thanks
Sander
