New submission from peppergrower <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Currently, StringIO objects do not have __enter__ and __exit__ methods
associated with them. As a result, the 'with' statement won't work
properly on StringIO objects in a construction like the following,
though they can otherwise be manipulated like files:
with obj.open_file(...) as f:
...
(I brought up this behavior first on comp.lang.python,* and the above
example was borrowed from Hrvoje Niksic.) To allow StringIO objects to
be used more interchangeably with actual file objects, could __enter__
and __exit__ methods be added?
Thanks,
peppergrower
