 The simplest example of reading a CSV file::
 
    import csv
-   reader = csv.reader(open("some.csv", newline=''))
-   for row in reader:
-       print(row)
+   with open("some.csv", newline='') as f:
+       reader = csv.reader(f)
+       for row in reader:
+           print(row)
 
 Reading a file with an alternate format::
 
    import csv
-   reader = csv.reader(open("passwd"), delimiter=':', quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONE)
-   for row in reader:
-       print(row)
+   with open("passwd") as f:
+       reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter=':', quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONE)
+       for row in reader:
+           print(row)
 
 The corresponding simplest possible writing example is::
 
    import csv
-   writer = csv.writer(open("some.csv", "w"))
-   writer.writerows(someiterable)
+   with open("some.csv", "w") as f:
+       writer = csv.writer(f)
+       writer.writerows(someiterable)
 
 Since :func:`open` is used to open a CSV file for reading, the file
 will by default be decoded into unicode using the system default
 encoding (see :func:`locale.getpreferredencoding`).  To decode a file
 using a different encoding, use the ``encoding`` argument of open::
 
-    import csv
-    reader = csv.reader(open("some.csv", newline='', encoding='utf-8'))
-    for row in reader:
-        print(row)
+   import csv
+   with open("some.csv", newline='', encoding='utf-8') as f:
+       reader = csv.reader(f)
+       for row in reader:
+           print(row)
 
 The same applies to writing in something other than the system default
 encoding: specify the encoding argument when opening the output file.

 A slightly more advanced use of the reader --- catching and reporting errors::
 
    import csv, sys
    filename = "some.csv"
-   reader = csv.reader(open(filename, newline=''))
-   try:
-       for row in reader:

 And while the module doesn't directly support parsing strings, it can easily be
 done::
