What's your use case, except for not breaking existing code? Apart from the latter, I can't think of a single use case that isn't served just as well by *copying* the object reference into another variable. BTW perhaps we should add the same semantics and syntax to 'with expr as var'? I can't think of a reasonable use case for keeping var alive after the with-statement terminates either. (Nor for using anything more complex than a local variable, BTW.) -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
