[issue8522] enhacement proposal in http://docs.python.org/howto/doanddont.html

[Adrián Deccico]

New submission from Adrián Deccico <deccico at gmail.com>:

Hi, in "Exceptions" section. 

Instead of using:

def get_status(file):
    fp = open(file)
    try:
        return fp.readline()
    finally:
        fp.close()

Why no suggest this method:

def get_status(file):
    with open(file) as fp:
	return fp.readline()


which will properly close the file.
