close tabix file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
def func1():
    # opens any tabix file
    inf = pysam.Tabixfile("chr1.tabix.gz")
    return

for i in range(10000):
    func1()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You would assume that it will iterate, however, it failes at i = 2556

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
pysam-0.4.1 on mac os 10.5 with python 2.6

Please provide any additional information below.
Is the problem due to the lack of a close() method for pysam.Tabixfile
