Or, if you are using Python 2.5+, you can use the file context via the
`with' statement.
[code]
from __future__ import with_statement # this line won't be needed in
Python 2.6+
with open(filename, 'r') as fp:
for line in fp:
# do something with line
[/code]
This basicly just closes the file automatically (even if there is an
exception) when the context (part indented under `with') is exited.
This is a new feature, but probably the most pythonic way of doing it.
That will be especially true in the future.
