finally block is useful for writing cleanup codes(like closing a file). But my question is, what if a file doesn’t exist and we are reading it in a try block, so finally block will also throw an error that such file doesn’t exist that you are trying to close.
try:
file = open(‘data.txt’)
except:
print(‘error’)
finally:
file.close()
Suppose, data.txt doesn’t exist, so is it a good practice to write cleanup codes in finally block?

hey @Mohit2000 ,
But think too naaa , when you don’t have any such file , why you will close it.
You are corect that we write cleanup codes in finally block , but we also need to that are those cleanup codes that will work always and will doesn’t get into any such error.
I hope this helps.
