Practical Context Manager Patterns

Apply context managers to files, locks, timers, and DB connections.

Introduction

Context managers solve real-world resource management problems elegantly across files, databases, locks, timers, and more.

File Processing Pipeline

Open input and output files together, process line by line, and close both automatically.
import io
src = io.StringIO('line1\nline2\nline3')
dst = io.StringIO()
with src, dst:
    for line in src:
        dst.write(line.upper())
print(dst.getvalue())
