How can I use contextlib in Python?

You can use the contextlib module to simplify the management of resources. It provides utilities for working with context managers.

Can you give me an example of a context manager using contextlib?

Sure! Here's a simple example using contextlib.contextmanager:

from contextlib import contextmanager

@contextmanager
def my_context():
    print('Entering the context')
    yield
    print('Exiting the context')

with my_context():
    print('Inside the context')

What does the yield statement do in this context?

The yield statement allows you to define a point where the context manager can pause and return control to the block of code inside the with statement.

Are there any built-in context managers in Python?

Yes, Python has several built-in context managers, such as open() for file handling and threading.Lock() for thread synchronization.
