Re: Best use of "open" context manager

Or like below, although pylint complains about this: "consider using

f = None
try:
   f = open(FILENAME)
   records = f.readlines()

  This try clause would also catch exception raised by the readlines
  call, and I thought that this was what the OP was looking to avoid.

except Exception:
   sys.exit(1)

  When this code is part of a library, it might not be appropriate
  to make the whole application exit at this point.
