+1

Certainly my favorite because it's direct and easy on the eyes.  Second 
would be::

     in opening("foo") as f:
         # etc.

because I can see Aahz's point about introducing the block with a 
keyword instead of relying on the ":" punctuation and subsequent 
indentation of the block for skimming code.
