You can do some kind of RAII in python with the with keyword. Only works for local variables though, where it's easy to free resources manually

But if you ever forget the with keyword, you have a leak. With proper RAII the resource acquisition and release is a property of the object's type and impossible to forget. RAII doesn't just mean "resource acquisition is initialization", it also implies "destruction is resource release".
