Yes, that was exactly what he set out to do. I noted that the terms "context" and "context manager" seemed to be exactly reversed from what's intuitive, and from how the user-facing documentation is written; the post at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063842.html> contains my argument. GvR approved, and Phillip went ahead and made the change. --amk _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
