Addressing sys.excepthook error in bash script

Question

I\'ve written a bash script that is doing exactly what I want it to do, but kicking out the following error:

close failed in file object destructor: sys.except

Answer 1

I was seeing this error when piping output from a Python 2.6.2 script into the head command in bash on Ubuntu 9.04. I added try blocks to close stdout and stderr before exiting the script:

try:
    sys.stdout.close()
except:
    pass
try:
    sys.stderr.close()
except:
    pass

I am no longer seeing the error.
