What's the advantage of using 'with .. as' statement in Python?

Question

with open(\"hello.txt\", \"wb\") as f:
    f.write(\"Hello Python!\\n\")

seems to be the same as

f = open(\"hello.txt\", \"wb\")
f.write(\"Hell         


        

Answer 1

The former still closes f if an exception occurs during the f.write().
