Django错误：打开的文件太多

Question

I'm using Anaconda python and I'm trying to run a simple Django server using the official documentation. When I run python manage.py runserver I get this error

Nuseirs-MacBook-Pro:anothertry nyassin$ python manage.py runserver

IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '//anaconda/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/resource.so'

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Answer 1

It's an operating system error. The maximum number of open files is limited. Try to find where you open files and forget to close them.

Open less file descriptors at once.

set(open(filename) for filename in new_filenames)

is where the error occurs.
