it should read:
open(file) do |fd
 ..process fd..
end

note that open() is defined as 'global' in ruby (in Object).

I think the closer match in python should be a method that perfomrs
what you wrote, and accepts a function in input. :
def do_open(name,fun):
  fd=open(name)
  try:
   fun(fd)
  finally:
   fd.close()
