In fact it is a built-in method without a doc string:

>>> f = open("/dev/null")
>>> f.close
<built-in method close of _io.TextIOWrapper object at 0x7feefaab42f0>
>>> f.close.__doc__

All functions and methods that are implemented in C are referred to as built-in functions. It's an implementation detail.
