Answer:

The with statement in Python is used to wrap the execution of a block of code with methods defined by a context manager. It is used to simplify the try-except-finally blocks of code for resource allocation and release, such as file handling, database connections, etc.

Here's an example of using the with statement in Python:

with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:
    content = f.read()
    print(content)

In this example, the with statement is used to open a file named file.txt in read mode, and the contents of the file are read and printed. The open function returns a file object, which is then passed to the with statement. The with statement automatically takes care of closing the file after the contents have been read, which is done by calling the close method of the file object. This makes sure that the resources used by the file are properly released, even if an exception is raised during the execution of the code block.
