Hello, In the http://bugs.python.org/issue10093 discussion, I proposed to add a specific warning category for unclosed files. The rationale is that these warnings will happen in destructors and therefore filtering by line number and filename doesn't make sense. So a new category would be useful in order to allow defining specific rules. Do you think it would go against the moratorium?

Come to think of it, another reason for a separate warning category is that we problably want those disabled by default (unless we're running in pydebug mode perhaps).

Regards

Antoine.
