I don't know how python close files but normally there is no problem even when not closing the files in code

I think more pythonic way would be like:
I little doubt that file handle stay open after dump call - normally if you open file with open() you need to take care to close it as well..

Echoing @jupe's comment about using
with open()

Ah, sorry. Typed too quickly. @jupe this is ok because the file handle is only opened within the context of the function call. Once the call is completed, the reference is garbage collected.
I agree that your suggestion is more pythonic and makes sure to close the file, but considering this is a fix and this is at the end of the file, I'm ok with this going in asis.

It is true that when there is no references to file handle it will be closed automatically . But that is not the case when exceptions happens because then reference to file handle is stored to traceback object - part of stack trace and file will not be closed.. That could happen in some corner case - even unlikely. Anyway, it would be more safe to use
with
statement just in case..There was a problem hiding this comment.

Interesting. Hadn't thought about what happens in the case of an exception.
I'm fine with seeing the change be made if @OPpuolitaival wants to make it. I was also under the impression that it would be good to get this in sooner rather than later, and since this seemed like a small change/improvement, I didn't want to hold up the PR.
