Hello, text = file(filename).read()
(or: open(filename).read()) How do you close() the file? ;-) Is it, in fact, automagically closed after end-of-statement if not bound to a name? Or when the execution path quits the present scope (func, module), like if it had been bound to a local var? Or what else? Said differently: in this case, how long does the python file object live / does the file in file system remain locked? I would love case #1. This may be implementation-dependant, no?
