The preferred approach (as long as you're not trying to handle Python
earlier than 2.5) is to use the "with open(...) as <f>" construct, which
guarantees to close the file when the with block is exited, including via
exceptions.  This of course assumes that you don't need the file open
outside the block. :-)
