Description:
When using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE, a file is opened for reading, but is not closed, and warning like this is displayed:"...Python3\lib\site-packages\mysql\connector\connection.py:598: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.BufferedReader name=..."

How to repeat:
it can be even seen in source.

It doesn't look as actual problem because of parameter  closefd , which is Set to True by default : 

https://docs.python.org/3.3/library/functions.html#open

So the file will be closed eventually by GC

At the same time I Verify it to suppress warning and make sure that files are closed explicitly. According to:

https://bugs.python.org/issue10093
and
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.2.html

"the delay in deallocating the object could produce various issues".

E.g. on some filesystems another process may meet issues deleting file immediately after executing LOAD DATA if python still has it open (before GC has chance to release it)
