On Windows, Herbie can't remove subset file about herbie HOT 6 CLOSED

Perhaps all I need is a os.close(local_file) statement

from herbie.

I might have found a solution...use xr.load_dataset instead. This loads the data into memory and closes the file.

Hmmm, the cfgrib.open_datasets doesn't make it easy to close the file.

It was also reported that the init.py is not creating the config file.

So, is this a Windows issue or a Python 3.9 on Windows issue?

Agh, still trying to figure this out.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.remove
On Windows, attempting to remove a file that is in use causes an exception to be raised; on Unix, the directory entry is removed but the storage allocated to the file is not made available until the original file is no longer in use.

Oh wow. How did I miss this one...I simply forgot to close the file opened by pygrib. Well, 2785b61 seems to have fixed this one. I'll do a bit more testing, but I'm certain this is resolved.
