The ``with`` statement is better because it will ensure you always close the

Returning Multiple Values from a Function
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Python supports returning multiple values from a function as a comma-separated
list, so you don't have to create an object or dictionary and pack multiple
values in before you return

**Bad**:

.. code-block:: python

def math_func(a):
return {'square': a ** 2, 'cube': a ** 3}

d = math_func(3)
s = d['square']
c = d['cube']

**Good**:

.. code-block:: python

def math_func(a):
return a ** 2, a ** 3

square, cube = math_func(3)
