In the documentation, the statement "with" is marked as:
"New in version 2.5."
(http://docs.python.org/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-with-statement)

This new statement is new in version 2.6 !

It is in fact new in 2.5, but only available when using "from __future__ import with_statement", which the note near the end of the section details.
