Thanks for the advice Joshua. I find these tips very useful. However, how
would I close the files, or would they close after the "with" construct is
complete?
That's the whole point of 'with'. It calls open(), then calls
__enter__, and it guarantees to call __exit__ before executing any
code following the with block. With a file object, __exit__ will close
the file.

Thanks! Now I see why using "with" is a better way to write the code.
