Why not assign a variable instead of using `with .. as`?

I'm learning socket programming in Python, and saw that a person used this piece of code:

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.bind((HOST, PORT))
    s.listen()
    conn, addr = s.accept()

Why would you use with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s instead of s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)? Is there any difference between these which makes one better to use in this case?
