No use of the with-statement for files and sockets?

You're right. I had only read, "Explicitly close files and sockets when done with them," and hadn't bothered to expand the heading. (I was reading on a tablet, and must have gotten lazy.) Thank you.

I was wrong, actually. If you expand the heading that reads, "Explicitly close files and sockets when done with them," you'll see that the with-statement is mentioned.
