The significant difference is that the 'with' block guarantees to
close the file promptly. With CPython it probably won't make a lot of
difference, and in a tiny script it won't do much either, but if you
do this on Jython or IronPython or MicroPython or some other
implementation, it may well make a gigantic difference - your loop
might actually fail because the file's still open.
