Heh. I was about to pull out the "if the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea (and bad ideas shouldn't go into 2.X)" rule last week in response to the endless nick-phillip-paul "today I put in my brain the other way" threads... ;-) (but the design isn't really that hard to explain; it's just that ever- one seems to be missing that there are three objects involved, not two...) But if you think we can get rid of the "with statement context object" [1], I'm all for it. "explicit is better than implicit" etc. +1. </F> 1) http://docs.python.org/dev/ref/with.html _______________________________________________ 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
