Apparently my program (Python 2.6.4, wxPython 2.8.10.1, GTK+ 2.10.11) is breaking on a user's systems - I think it's SuSE 10 (64-bit version).  All I know so far is that it's dumping message like this to the terminal:

: Too many open files
** (python:31253): WARNING **: Couldn't create temporary file: Failed to create file '/tmp/username-printer-ppd-xe1423-ext-J4644U': Too many open files
bash: : Too many open files
** (python:31253): WARNING **: Couldn't create temporary file: Failed to create file '/tmp/username-printer-ppd-xe141227-46304U': Too many open files
** (python:31253): WARNING **: Couldn't create temporary file: Failed to create file '/tmp/username-printer-ppd-XE142118-2-XGR14U': Too many open filesbash: syntax error near unexpected token `python:31253'

I know this is a long shot, but has anyone run into similar problems in the past?  Is there a way to completely turn off printing support when compiling GTK and/or wxPython, and will it do me any good?

thanks,
Nat

Seems quite similar, but not the same as:
"On Linux, calling the above function repeatedly will eventually
exhaust the available file descriptors. The program will stop with:
IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/tmp/tmpJ6g4Ke'"
