While you can probably do this (after all, most of the time
__new__/__init__ and __enter__ will be called in rapid succession) I
really think the RAII meme doesn't apply to Python; you generally want
a resource to be acquired for a period of definite extent, and objects
in Python have indefinite extent, unlike C++ where automatic variables
have definite extent (Common Lisp terminology here).
I've gone on at length about this before:
