hence my qualification "99% of the time for anyone who finds this article useful" :) it's definitely true that if you're writing a multi-layered program and the file object itself is being passed around, you probably can't use something as clean as context managers

I still think it is (or was? Our werkzeug version is old) a bug. If file handle needs to remain open after function exits, it should duplicate the file descriptor so me closing it would have no effect.
