Re: [Pytables-users] closing an erroneous file

[Anthony S. <sc...@gm...>]

Hi Daniele,

This is probably because of the way PyTables caches its file objects.  As a
temporary work around, why don't you try clearing the cache or at least
removing this file.  The cache is just a dictionary and it is located at
"tables.file._open_files".   ie try:

tables.file._open_files.clear()
-or-
del tables.file._open_files.pop["touch.h5"]

Be Well
Anthony
