Break or exit out of “with” statement?

Question

I\'d just like to exit out of a with statement under certain conditions:

with open(path) as f:
    print \'before condition\'
    if 

        

Answer 1

There exists a function __exit__() for this purpose. Syntax is as follows:

with VAR = EXPR:
  try:
    BLOCK
  finally:
    VAR.__exit__()
