Hi there,
This is a beginner question.
I learned that
with open("foo.txt") as f:
lines = f.readlines()
using the with-construct is the recommended way to deal with files
making sure that close() always happens.
However, I also could do:
lines = open("foo.txt").readlines()
I have to admit that I'm not sure if in case something bad happens a
close() is done implicitly as in the first example.
Could I use the latter as a substitute for the with-construct? What are
the recommendations of the experts?
