The Python with keyword replaces a try-finally block. It is a case-sensitive. It can be used in file handling and handling database. A function or class that supports the with statement is known as a context manager.
A context manager allows you to open and close resources when we want to. For example, the open() function is a context manager. When we call the open() function using the with statement, the file closes automatically after we have processed the file.
SyntaxFollowing is the syntax of the Python with keyword −
withUsing 'with' Keyword in Files
The with keyword is used in files to open a particular file and perform various operations.
ExampleHere, we have opened the sample.txt file in read mode using with keyword −
def Tutorialspoint(): with open('sample.txt') as Tp: data = Tp.read() # Printing our text print(data) Tutorialspoint()
Output
Following is the output of the above code −
Hello welcome to TutorialspointUsing 'with' Keyword in Database
The with statement is useful for managing database connections, ensuring that the connection is closed even if an error occurs.
ExampleFollowing is an example of usage of with in database −
import sqlite3 with sqlite3.connect('example.db') as conn: cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT)') cursor.execute('INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (?)', ('Python',)) cursor.execute('INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (?)', ('Java',)) cursor.execute('INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (?)', ('C',)) cursor.execute('INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (?)', ('C++',)) conn.commit() # Fetching data with sqlite3.connect('example.db') as conn: cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM users') print(cursor.fetchall())
Output
Following is the output of the above code −
[(1, 'Python'), (2, 'Java'), (3, 'C'), (4, 'C++')]
