New submission from Stavros Korokithakis:
Currently, the new "with" statement does not support multiple handlers.
For example, to open two files for input/output you would have to do:
with open("filein") as input:
with open("fileout") as output:
#Do stuff
pass
This adds unnecessary complexity, and would be unwieldy with multiple
code blocks. Would something like the following be feasible?
with open("filein") as input, open("fileout") as output:
# Do stuff
pass
This syntax is fully backwards-compatible, so there shouldn't be any
problem there.
