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

Here is another way of doing it using try and except, even though inverting the condition is probably more convenient.

class BreakOut(Exception): pass

try:
    with open(path) as f:
        print('before condition')
        if : 
            raise BreakOut #syntax error!
        print('after condition')
except BreakOut:
    pass
