    file would require ZIP64 extensions. ZIP64 extensions are disabled by default
    because the default :program:`zip` and :program:`unzip` commands on Unix (the
    InfoZIP utilities) don't support these extensions.
+   
+   ZipFile is also a context manager and therefore supports the
+   :keyword:`with` statement.  In this example, *zip* is closed after the
+   :keyword:`with` statement's suite is finished---even if an exception occurs::
 
+      with ZipFile('spam.zip', 'w') as zip:
+          zip.write('eggs.txt')
+
    .. versionchanged:: 2.6
       If the file does not exist, it is created if the mode is 'a'.
