The with statement is very helpful to simplify working with exception handling.
For example when working with files, each time we open a file, we must remember to close it.
with makes this process transparent.
Instead of writing:
filename = '/Users/flavio/test.txt'
try:
file = open(filename, 'r')
content = file.read()
print(content)
finally:
file.close()You can write:
filename = '/Users/flavio/test.txt'
with open(filename, 'r') as file:
content = file.read()
print(content)In other words we have built-in implicit exception handling, as close() will be called automatically for us.
with is not just helpful to work with files. The above example is just meant to introduce its capabilities.
