Lesson 035: Context managers beyond open()

Focus

Treat the excerpt as executable notes: Intermediate drills Context managers beyond open(); spin token 318270 makes this page unlike its neighbours.

Key ideas

Angle Intermediate: micro cadence 5 mixes Context managers beyond open(); spin 12876.
Ritual: Swap one benign literal twice to see binding effects.
Guardrail: pick the budget that keeps this rehearsal honest.

Example (`LESSON_UID = "intermediate-035"`)

# Intermediate drill L035 topic-3 micro-4 pattern-12
LESSON_UID = "intermediate-035"
spin_a, spin_b, spin_c = 635, 594, 376

from io import StringIO

buf = StringIO()
rounds = 3 + 4 % 5
for idx in range(rounds):
    buf.write(f"seg-{idx}-{(idx * 35 + spin_b) % 997}\n")
buf.seek(0)
dump = buf.read()
print("lines", dump.count("\n"))
print("peek", dump.splitlines()[0] if dump else "<empty>")

from pathlib import Path
import tempfile

with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as scratch:
    target = Path(scratch) / "scratch-35.txt"
    snap = [48, 691, 343]
    target.write_text("\n".join(str(x) for x in snap), encoding="utf-8")
    print("scratch_bytes", target.stat().st_size, "rolling", sum(snap) % (376 + 131))

Practice

Practice 34: Clone twice: expand literals vs shrink loops; compare narrative. Literal nudge 34.
