When working with files in Python, it's quite common to explicitly invoke the `close()` method after processing the file. This might work fine in a lot of cases, however it's a common pitfall for beginners and developers coming from other languages.

Take for example the following code. If an exception is thrown before calling the `close()` method, the file would remain open. In such a scenario, the code would stop executing before `close()` is called, leaving the file open after the program crashes.
