New submission from Martijn Pieters:
urllib.request.urlopen() now always produces a context manager (either a
HTTPResponse or addinfourl object). The example for contextlib.closing still
uses urllib.request.urlopen as an example for the context manager wrapper, see
https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextlib.html#contextlib.closing
This is confusing users that now expect the object not to be a context manager,
see:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26619404/with-and-closing-of-files-in-python
Can a different example be chosen?
