In case of error (e.g. timeout error), urllib.request leaves the socket open: import urllib.request as ur import socket s = socket.socket() s.bind(('localhost', 10000)) s.listen(0) socket.setdefaulttimeout(5) ur.urlopen('http://localhost.localdomain:10000') outputs: sys:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed <socket.socket object, fd=4, family=2, type=1, proto=6> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 1146, in do_open r = h.getresponse() # an HTTPResponse instance File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/http/client.py", line 1046, in getresponse response.begin() File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/http/client.py", line 346, in begin version, status, reason = self._read_status() File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/http/client.py", line 308, in _read_status line = str(self.fp.readline(_MAXLINE + 1), "iso-8859-1") File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/socket.py", line 279, in readinto return self._sock.recv_into(b) socket.timeout: timed out During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 138, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 369, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 387, in _open '_open', req) File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 347, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 1163, in http_open return self.do_open(http.client.HTTPConnection, req) File "/home/wolf/dev/py/py3k/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 1148, in do_open raise URLError(err) urllib.error.URLError: >>> AFAIU, when urlopen returns or raises, the socket can be closed, so the attached patch adds a "finally" that calls close() on the HTTPConnection object. The test suite pass (except for a mock that was missing the close method), but I'm not 100% sure that it's always safe to call close(). This ResourceWarning has been exposed by test_packaging.

Hi Ezio, the connection can be closed via the finally call as you do in the patch. There are times when request object is re-used, but before the connection is made. It may also help to understand how the code in the packaging was invoking it. If you run the whole suite and see the nothing breaks (to ensure that something is not waiting for the socket and trying to close later), go ahead with the patch.

The packaging test (test_pypi_simple.py:test_uses_mirrors) creates a server and a mirror, starts the mirror only, tries to connect to the server, and then falls back on the mirror when the server raises a timeout error. The code in the first message does more or less the same, causing a timeout error and the resource warning. I haven't checked in detail the urllib tests, but the fact that there are no ResourceWarnings while running test_urllib might mean that this case isn't currently tested.

Oh, I wrote a similar patch to kill the ResourceWarning of test_pypi_simple (except that I didn't patch test_urllib2).

I tested the patch on Python 3.3: the full test suite pass on Linux. I applied your patch on Python 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3, thanks Ezio.

This patch has introduced some problems for me with Python 3.2.1 (64-bit Arch Linux). The following code: with urllib.request.urlopen(url) as page: pass raises "ValueError: I/O operation on closed file." exception when url is "http://www.imdb.com/". When I removed "h.close()" (added by this patch) from request.py everything worked as expected. Interestingly other URLs work flawlessly with patched code ("http://www.google.com/" for example). I had no time to further investigate the differences between HTTP responses of "good" and "bad" sites... and I am by no means an HTTP expert :) Should I open a new bug report for this one or is it OK to just leave this comment here?

(Oh, I missed Antoine's comment, yes, reopen a new issue)
