So it isn't always an anti-pattern to not use a context manager for reading text/bytes, in fact I would argue that\r\n\r\n```python\r\nwith open(\"file.txt\", \"r\") as f:\r\n    content = f.read()\r\n```\r\n\r\nis an anti-pattern for\r\n\r\n```python\r\ncontent  = Path(\"file.txt\").read_text()\r\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/DanGolding","@type":"Person","name":"DanGolding"},"datePublished":"2019-12-20T11:07:02.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/139/python-anti-patterns/issues/139"}
