python - Why would an io.BytesIO stream close when passed as an argument? -


i have django app user posts file. view grabs file, passes threaded function , processes it. problem is, io.bytesio stream gets closed before can read , can't figure out why gets closed.

i'm processing excel files using xlrd library. excel files uploaded, stream stays open close. don't understand what's going on under hood figure out why. i'm asking debugging advice. can't provide full code i've outlined code path looks below.

my django view grabs file post request:

ufile = request.files['upload-file'].file 

ufile instance of io.bytesio. have function copies stream named temporary file

@contextmanager def temp_input_file(file_):   temp = tempfile.namedtemporaryfile(delete=false)   shutil.copyfileobj(file_, temp)   temp.close()   yield temp.name   os.unlink(temp.name) 

this contextmanager decorated function used little later. next step create thread process uploaded file:

  job.run_job(     method=process_excel_file,     uploaded_file=ufile   ) 

what i'm doing passing function process_excel_file , uploaded "file" io.bytesio stream job.run_job, creates thread

def run_job(self, method, **kwargs):   thread = threading.thread()   thread.run = lambda : method(     job_id=self.job_db_record.id,     **kwargs   )   thread.start() 

so process_excel_file passed method variable , ufile in kwargs. function running in thread, process_excel_file looks this:

def process_excel_file(ufile):   temp_input_file(ufile) temp_file:     in_book = xlrd.open_workbook(temp_file)     ... # stuff in_book 

so happens when use temp_input_file context manager function, valueerror thrown because stream closed. if instead refactor code create temporary file in view , pass temp file name instead of file-like object, works because stream gets closed somewhere after gets passed job.run_job. thoughts on why stream close? it's more troubling because files don't close stream.
