- Refactored `SU2/io/config.py` to use `try...finally` blocks for file handling, ensuring proper resource cleanup. - Replaced unsafe `subprocess.Popen` calls for creating symbolic links in `SU2/eval/functions.py` and `SU2/eval/gradients.py` with `os.symlink`. - Added checks for existing links before creation to prevent errors.

Buddy I told you before we are not machines. |
Apologies, sir. No passive aggression intended. Thank you for reviewing and approving the PR. |

This PR addresses critical resource leaks and unsafe coding practices in the Python wrapper scripts:
SU2_PY/SU2/io/config.py, file operations inread_config,write_config, anddump_configwere opening files without closing them. These have been refactored to usetry...finallyblocks or context managers (with open(...)) to ensure files are closed properly, preventing file descriptor exhaustion.SU2_PY/SU2/eval/functions.pyandSU2_PY/SU2/eval/gradients.py, symbolic links were being created usingsubprocess.Popen(['ln', '-s', ...]). This is platform-dependent and unreliable. These have been replaced with the portableos.symlinkfunction, including checks for existing links.Related Work
