Dwayne Litzenberger added the comment: After seeing a context manager named like "TempfileIfNeeded(..., cond)", whole sole purpose is to handle the conditional case, I'm firmly +1 on this proposal.
It's much easier to just read "with Tempfile() if cond else nullcontext():" than to read through another level of indirection every time someone wanted some conditional logic on a context manager. Is there any chance that this issue could be reopened? Perhaps a more elegant solution would be to modify the "with" statement so that any object can be given to it (then we could just use None directly), but I suspect that would be a tad more controversial. ;) ---------- nosy: +DLitz _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10049> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
