[py.user]

New submission from py.user <port139 at yandex.ru>:

>>> with open('/etc/passwd') as f1, \
...      open('/etc/profile) as f2:
  File "<stdin>", line 2
    open('/etc/profile) as f2:
                             ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
>>>

>>> with open('/etc/passwd') as f1,          open('/etc/profile') as f2:
...

working example for a loop:

>>> for i, j in zip(range(10), \
...                 range(5, 15)):
...   print(i, j)
... 
0 5
1 6
2 7
3 8
4 9
5 10
6 11
7 12

>>>

>>> for i, j in \
...             zip(range(10), range(5, 15)):
