What about this:

     try:
         f = open(FileName) as f:
     except FileNotFoundError:
         print(f"File {FileName} not found")
         sys.exit()
     with f:
         ... process the lines here ...

Remember, the `open()` call returns a file object _which can be used as 
a context manager_. It is separate from the `with` itself.
