pdfmerger is not leaving the file open, you are. Here you open a file and never close it.

merger.append(PdfFileReader(open(os.path.join(dirName, fname),'rb')))

I would use a context manager to automatically close the file.

with open(os.path.join(dirName, fname),'rb') as file:
    merger.append(PdfFileReader(file))
