[issue7169] zipfile leaves a file handle open if file is zero size

New submission from skelker <steve.kelker [at] dtn>:

I noticed today if I attempt to create a ZipFile object for read access,
and the zip file is zero bytes, the ZipFile object throws an exception,
but there is still an open handle to the file. So if I catch that
exception, and then try to delete the file, the delete then fails. I
have attached a script that replicates the issue.

Ryan Leslie <rylesny [at] gmail> added the comment:

I expect this should already be fixed by the commit in
http://bugs.python.org/issue6511

BadZipFile will now be raised for empty files rather than IOError, and
so ZipFile._GetContents() should now also close the file.

The fix was committed to trunk, but I don't see it merged into 2.6.

Thanks. I did do a search before opening my ticket. Not sure why I didn't see that in my search. Sorry for the duplicate ticket.

Brian Curtin <curtin [at] acm> added the comment:

Since the issue exists in 2.6 and is only currently fixed on trunk and
beyond, shouldn't the 6511 fix make it's way backwards into 2.6.x?

That would be great. Perhaps that should be discussed in 6511. I'll make a note there.

Ryan Leslie <rylesny [at] gmail> added the comment:

Yes, I think this fix should have been included in the 2.6 branch. I
subscribed Amaury to look into that when I last updated.

R. David Murray <rdmurray [at] bitdance> added the comment:

The 2.6 branch was frozen except for critical issues during the release
process for 2.6.3 and then 2.6.4. Now that 2.6.4 is out, the bug fix
can be backported.
