search_lightcurvefile (and any other search) can only be used once per run

See original GitHub issue

Problem description: I would like to analyze many light curves at once, but apparently I can only search for a target once per python run.

Example:

import lightkurve as lk
lk.search_lightcurvefile('TOI 509.01',mission='TESS').download()
# Do stuff
lk.search_lightcurvefile('TOI 1258.01',mission='TESS').download()
*** ERROR HERE: I/O operation on closed file

Expected behavior:

Find first target --> do what you need to do Find second target … and so on

Environment

platform: latest windows
lightkurve version: latest version
installation method: conda

@LucaNap Interesting! Thanks for the report. My best guess is that your reinstall may have resulted in a newer version of astroquery being installed, which may have resolved the problem. Either way, it’ll be good to keep an eye open for other users reporting this problem.

I strongly encourage anyone who also runs into this problem to comment below or open a new issue! 👍

Thanks for the tip!

Fortunately today I had to reinstall anaconda (for different reasons) and suddenly the issue is no longer present in Lightkurve v2.0b3. Since nobody else encountered it in v1.1.3, I think you can close this issue as it was probably linked to a new version of some dependency which has recently been fixed. However if I’ll have time to play with Lightkurve 1.1.3, I’ll let you know if I find this problem again.
