How to close the file after reading?

[corobin]

Hello,

I hope this is an acceptable place to ask a quick question, I tried looking everywhere but couldn't find documentation :(

Explanation:

The readme has an example for opening a .msg file, as such:

msg = extract_msg.openMsg("path/to/msg/file.msg")

I can read the .msg data just fine, but when i go to rename the file based on the metadata I get this error:

PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\\test\\lorem.msg' -> 'C:\\test\\ipsum.msg'

Using powertoy's what's using this file utility i see that python is what's holding it open, which leads me to believe that msg-extractor is the one that is not closing the file.

Question: How do you close the file?

Thanks!

The wiki details opening and closing the files, under the section of using it in your own code. It is closed just as a normal file would be, with the close method.

msg.close()
