Yes, though I'd use json.load(f) instead of json.loads().

The file will be closed when the with-block is left. That is before
read_data_file() returns, even in a Python implementation that doesn't use
ref-counting. Think of
with open(...) as f:
# whatever
as roughly equivalent to
f = open(...)
try:
# whatever
finally:
f.close()
See the "specification" section of
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0343/
for the gory details.
