The "with" statement is great, but it results in the bulk of the code being indented twice. I'd like to propose a little syntactic sugar, the "try with":
try with something as f: many lines of code except some_error: handle error
Not commenting on how useful the proposal is (I'm mostly stuck in Python 2.4), but couldn't this be:
with something as f: many lines of code except some_error: handle error

Like the OP, I find myself doing this same sequence of code over and over. The syntax you describe here would clean the code up considerably.
+1 Same for me. It avoids an additional try: except: surrounding the with.
