Actually, now that you say that— I think it makes my point: the fact that this context manager is necessary, and “has consequences” is because the working dir is global — not a good choice. The module-scope hammer does not fit every nail. Stop trying to hammer > in screws. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m not arguing for module scope. I’m arguing against implicit global configuration. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
