Brett Cannon added the comment: In issue #25637, Guido said he didn't want to move stuff out of collections.abc, so the context manager ABC will go into contextlib.
To answer Martin's point, I could make __exit__ abstract to begin with to make people override it properly. The only reason I thought of providing a default implementation is that it inherently isn't required to be implemented to match the context manager interface/protocol. But as you pointed out, the usefulness of a context manager is derived from doing stuff in __exit__(), so I will make it abstract. ---------- dependencies: +Move non-collections-related ABCs out of collections.abc _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25609> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
