I'd like to write a Fork class to wrap os.fork that allows something like this:
with Fork(): # to child stuff, end of block will automatically os._exit() # parent stuff goes here This would require (I think) that the __enter__ method of my Fork class to be able to return a value or raise an exception indicating that the block should not be run. It looks like, from PEP343, any exception thrown in the __enter__ isn't handled by with, and my basic tests confirm this. I could have __enter__ raise a custom exception and wrap the entire with statement in a try/except block, but that sort of defeats the purpose of the with statement. Is there a clean way for the context manager to signal that the execution of the block should be skipped altogether? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
