You can do some kind of RAII in python with the
withkeyword. Only works for local variables though, where it's easy to free resources manuallyBut if you ever forget the
withkeyword, you have a leak. With proper RAII the resource acquisition and release is a property of the object's type and impossible to forget. RAII doesn't just mean "resource acquisition is initialization", it also implies "destruction is resource release".
