I agree: Python's with statement does have a completely different
meaning of the same Pascal & Co 's statement.
However, I don't agree with the FAQ on this point. I think that a
Pascal-like with statement can be achieved, even with a dynamic
language such as Python, and in a simple way.
It isn't that a Pascal-with-style statement can't be achieved, it's that
it is pointless syntactic sugar in Python. Just use o =
long_complicated_object_name instead.
Cheers,
Nick.
