I normally didn't bother too much when reading from files, and for example

open until the interpreter quits?
So maybe doing a
with open(filename) as f:
contents = f.readlines()
is always a better idea??
It's a better idea when possible.
Sometimes the descriptor is opened in one method and closed in another.
In that case, "with" isn't possible.
