Why python has limit for count of file handles?

Question

I writed simple code for test, how much files may be open in python script:

for i in xrange(2000):
    fp = open(\'files/file_%d\' % i, \'w\')
    fp.write(s         


        

Answer 1

Since this is not a Python problem, do this:

for x in xrange(2000):
    with open('files/file_%d' % x, 'r') as h:
        print h.read()

The following is a very bad idea.

fps.append(h)
