I'd say no. Use either
# Protects the cleanup as well
try:
# You do realise you can't use a raw file object here really?
with my_file =3D file(filename):
# protected code
except:
# handle exception
or
# Just protects the code using the file
with my_file =3D file(filename):
try:
# protected code
except:
# handle exception
The fact that there are 2 options, either of which has arguments in
favour, indicates to me that it should be explicit.
In any case, with is a form of try ... finally, and that doesn't
allow an except clause either.
Paul.
