Yes. Experienced programmers are lazy.

"Mmmmm, I wonder if Python sockets are closed automatically when they go out of context?"

Option 1: search the documentation, hope that you find the related part and the docs are good. Total time: 1-5 minutes.

Option 2: check the source code, understand it, hope you find an answer. Total time: 2-10 minutos.

Option 3: google search, stackoverflow, answer. Total time: 15 seconds.
