What are some examples of using the with statement in Python?

Can you explain the with statement in Python?

Sure! The with statement simplifies exception handling by encapsulating common preparation and cleanup tasks.

Can you give me an example of how to use it?

Of course! Here's a simple example:

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

This automatically closes the file after the block is executed.

What happens if an error occurs while reading the file?

If an error occurs, the with statement ensures that the file is still closed properly, preventing resource leaks.

Are there other use cases for the with statement?

Yes, it's commonly used with database connections, threading locks, and more to manage resources efficiently.
