Getting an error when closing savReaderWriter.SavHeaderReader()

[Former user]

Hi!

I'm retrieving the metadata from an spss file, but when I want to close the SavHeaderReader, I'm getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "processSpss.py", line 59, in <module> header.close() #TODO: closing the SavHeaderReader gives errors File "C:\python33\lib\site-packages\savreaderwriter-3.3.0-py3.3.egg\savReaderWriter\savHeaderReader.py", line 62, in close self.closeSavFile(self.fh, mode=b"rb") File "C:\python33\lib\site-packages\savreaderwriter-3.3.0-py3.3.egg\savReaderWriter\generic.py", line 228, in closeSavFile checkErrsWarns(msg, retcode) File "C:\python33\lib\site-packages\savreaderwriter-3.3.0-py3.3.egg\savReaderWriter\error.py", line 118, in checkErrsWarns raise SPSSIOError(msg, retcode) error.SPSSIOError: Problem closing file in mode b'rb' [SPSS_INVALID_HANDLE]
