Does, With open() not works with python 2.6

I have seen other answers to help me with this. But I can't seem to get any of the solutions provided to work at all! Here is part of my code for it:

with open('Levels.dat', 'w') as l, open('Names.dat', 'w') as n:

I got this error:

    with open('Levels.dat', 'w') as l, open('Names.dat', 'w') as n:  
                                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

How do I fix this?

I keep trying to help you with your formatting. Please do not keep reverting it again. – Martijn Pieters Dec 05 '12 at 15:06
Oh sorry about that, I'm trying to make it look how it is in my code – junyi00 Dec 05 '12 at 15:15
@junyi00: The `try:` line is not relevant, and I reproduced your error on Python 2.6, and adjusted the syntax error traceback to match that. – Martijn Pieters Dec 05 '12 at 15:27

You tagged this with Python 2.7, but the syntax error you see would only happen in python 2.6. – Martijn Pieters Dec 05 '12 at 15:28
Thx for that. I always thought that I used 2.7.3, I must look at it again – junyi00 Dec 05 '12 at 15:42
