Shouldn't be done unless you have a really cool reason for doing so.

Re: No need to close file?

2006-07-18 Thread Kevin Watters 
There's always the new 'with' statement in Python 2.5.  So instead of

> f = open('foo', 'r')
> try:
>for line in f:
>  print line
> finally:
>f.close()
> 

...you do:

with open('foo','r') as f:
for line in f:
print line

It's at least a little bit cleaner, and it will close the file if there's an
exception as well.

(See http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/pep-343.html and don't forget to 
include

from __future__ import with_statement

at the top of the file)
