How can I manage resources effectively in Python?

You can manage resources in Python using context managers, which help ensure proper allocation and deallocation.

Can you give me an example of a context manager?

Sure! Here's a simple example using the with statement to manage file resources:

with open('file.txt', 'r') as file:
    data = file.read()

This automatically closes the file after the block is executed.

What if I need to manage multiple resources?

You can nest context managers or use the contextlib module to create a custom context manager for multiple resources.

Can you show me how to create a custom context manager?

Absolutely! Here's a simple custom context manager using a class:

class Resource:
    def __enter__(self):
        # Initialize resource
        return self
    
    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):
        # Clean up resource
        pass

with Resource() as res:
    # Use the resource
    pass
