What does the finally method do?

The finally block in a try...except...finally construct always executes, regardless of whether an exception occurred or not. It is used to release resources (such as closing files or network connections) that were opened in the try block, ensuring their cleanup.

# Example of using finally
try:
    file = open("myfile.txt", "r")
    # Reading or writing to the file
except FileNotFoundError:
    print("File not found")
finally:
    # This block will always execute, even if the file is not found or another error occurs
    if 'file' in locals() and not file.closed:
        file.close()
        print("File closed")
