Hold it one moment... You're not actually calling close. The file's
still open. Is that a copy/paste problem, or is that your actual code?

In Python, a function call ALWAYS has parentheses after it. Evaluating
a function's name like that returns the function (or method) object,
which you then do nothing with. (You could assign it someplace, for
instance, and call it later.) Try adding empty parens:

f.close()

and see if that solves the problem. Alternatively, look into the
'with' statement and the block syntax that it can give to I/O
operations.
