The "with" confuses me because I am not sure specifically what happens in the context manager. I'm taking it for granted in this case that __exit__() closes the file?
I am finding many examples of file handling using the context manager, but none so far that wrap into a generator; more often and file object. Is there a preference for file object over generator?
