I don’t think the doc style guide is the right place, since this is a code issue. with is advertised in http://docs.python.org/dev/tutorial/inputoutput#methods-of-file-objects and http://docs.python.org/dev/howto/doanddont#exceptions ; http://docs.python.org/dev/library/functions#open says nothing about closing, and http://docs.python.org/dev/library/io tells about the with statement without recommending it strongly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10461> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
