I'm thinking about using a with statement for opening a file, instead of
the usual try/except block, but I don't understand where you handle an
exception if the file doesn't open. For example:
with open('myfile', 'r'):
BLOCK
I assume that BLOCK can/will contain all the other stuff you want to do,
which may involve try/except blocks, but what if the initial open() call
fails (for lack of file, etc.)? Is this the purpose of the with
statement, to handle this itself? Is there still some way that I can
respond to this and show the user an error message?
Thanks.
