Re: Best use of "open" context manager

2024-07-06 Thread Richard Damon via Python-list
My thoughts is that if the "many lines of code" puts the except to far from the try, then perhaps it would have made sense to factor out some part there into a function. Perhaps like: try:    with open(FileName) as f:   for ln in f{ process(ln) except FileNotFoundError:    print(f"F

Context without manager

Read the Fine context manager documentation. What “with with_expression as var” does is effectively: ob = with_expression var = ob.__enter__() And then at the end of the with, does a ob.__exit__() (With some parameters to __exit__, that could just be None, None, None for the simplest case). N
