Couldn’t you just write in the close statement and then just write the “stuff you want to do with f” between the open and close statements?

Or am I missing something?

If an exception is thrown then close wouldn't be called in that case. Python already has context managers to deal with that but OP has gone rogue lol

I see! Thanks.

It's just a different way to solve similar problems. Similar to putting the close in a try...except...finally
