...what? that's *my* argument. that's *precisely* why I consider open to be 'misbehaving'. Because you *should* be able to create a context manager outside the with statement without causing these problems. Because calling open outside the with statement [absent other arrangements like an explicit try/finally] causes problems that wouldn't be there for a proper context manager that has __exit__ as the inverse of __enter__ rather than as the inverse of some other operation that happens before __enter__. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/3GJ5QF3GWZ72MV6UQNG67S3752GTF3LS/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
