In Python Tutorial -- Section 8.7 "Predefined Clean-up Action"
When following the "with open..." commands explicitly Python 2.5 will
generate a Syntax Error;
"There's an error in you program: invalid syntax"

It would be nice if a foot note existed that took you to Python
Reference Manual -- section 7.5 "The with statement"
In that section it explains that in Python 2.5 you need to use

from __future__ import with_statement

For new users this might frustrate.
