Description

I noticed that Django doesn't use a with statement when it uses os.scandir(), which is what the ​Python docs advise as of 3.6. Here is ​one example in the code. There appear to be 7 uses of os.scandir() in all, with 5 in test code.

Usage with the with statement looks like this:

with os.scandir(path) as entries:
    for entry in entries:
        ...

Not using a with statement or closing the iterator can cause a ResourceWarning, e.g. when an exception is raised.
