The following example from the xmlrpclib docs has an obviously erronous 
call to close() after the actual return. 
(http://docs.python.org/library/xmlrpclib.html)

def python_logo():
     handle = open("python_logo.jpg")
     return xmlrpclib.Binary(handle.read())
     handle.close()

The patch included also makes the whitespace PEP-8 compliant.

The patch attached uses a with statement for proper file closing in the 
examples.

Thanks, fixed in r69409.
