Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment:
ContextStack is intended to be a building block that makes it easy to compose
context managers and other callbacks, not necessarily an API you'd regularly
use directly. For example, given ContextStack (as currently implemented in
contextlib2), it's trivial to write your own higher level cleanup API:
@contextmanager
def cleanup(cb=None, *args, **kwds):
with ContextStack() as stack:
if cb is not None:
stack.register(cb, *args, **kwds):
yield stack
If you only have one callback, you could supply it directly as an argument to
cleanup(), otherwise you could make multiple register() calls on the returned
stack object.
The idea is to implement the necessary __exit__() logic that makes it feasible
to compose context managers and other callbacks just once, then let people
explore the possibilities in terms of the higher level APIs that it makes easy.
