    But can be handy to properly indent multiline expressions or
strings.

    But often useful depending on the application (ie. close them
explicitly when you are done with them, to prevent hanging file
handles.  Depending on the OS, and intended operations on the files,
this can be a benefit)

   But often handy for helping the editor to properly autoindent your
Python code.
