What is Context Manager?

An object that manages resources by defining setup and cleanup actions using the with statement.

Context managers ensure proper resource management. The with statement calls __enter__ on entry and __exit__ on exit (even if exceptions occur). The most common use is file handling: with open("file.txt") as f.

Create custom context managers by implementing __enter__/__exit__ methods or using the @contextmanager decorator from contextlib.
