A few days ago there were rumbling noises that requiring __exit__ to re-raise the exception (as I amended PEP 343 at the time) could lead to easily-missed bugs in __exit__ handlers.
After thinking it over I think I agree and I think I'd like to change the API so that the exception is only ignored if __exit__ returns a "true" value. The easiest implementation is probably to just let the WITH_CLEANUP opcode do everything. This becomes a rather heavy opcode then but the alternative is to generate very hairy code (like the original patch did, full of ROT 4 choruses). Any objections? I probably won't get to this until Monday. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
