(at least a related question!)

If I use a file() in a for, how to I explicitely close the file?

<code>
for line in file('contents'):
   print line
</code>

Would this work like the new 'with' statement or it will only be closed
when the GC finds it?

Yes, the with statement is well suited for this:

with open('contents') as f:
  for line in f:
    print line

In earlier versions of Python you would write:

f = open('contents')
try:
  for line in f:
    print line
finally:
  f.close()
