Does, With open() not works with python 2.6

Question

I am trying to use \"With open()\" with python 2.6 and it is giving error(Syntax error) while it works fine with python 2.7.3 Am I missing something or some import to make m

Answer 1

The with open() syntax is supported by Python 2.6. On Python 2.4 it is not supported and gives a syntax error. If you need to support PYthon 2.4, I would suggest something like:

def readfile(filename, mode='r'):
    f = open(filename, mode)
    try:
        for line in f:
            yield f
    except e:
        f.close()
        raise e
    f.close()

for line in readfile(myfile):
    print line
