function (source)

closing(thing)

Context to automatically close something at the end of a block.

Code like this:

    with closing(<module>.open(<arguments>)) as f:
        <block>

is equivalent to this:

    f = <module>.open(<arguments>)
    try:
        <block>
    finally:
        f.close()
