Re: [docs] Document why generators don't support the context management protocol (issue 13814)
https://bugs.python.org/review/13814/diff/14541/Doc/faq/design.rst File Doc/faq/design.rst (right): https://bugs.python.org/review/13814/diff/14541/Doc/faq/design.rst#newcode82... Doc/faq/design.rst:829: Why don't generators support the with statement? Perhaps put quotes around the keyword so that it doesn’t choke my English grammar parser (consistent with the existing section about attribute assignments): Why don't generators support the "with" statement? https://bugs.python.org/review/13814/diff/14541/Doc/faq/design.rst#newcode83... Doc/faq/design.rst:832: Any time you use generators to create context managers you have to add a @contextmanager decorator. Just a technicality, but you don’t _have_ to use that decorator. I sometimes find myself using closing(generator) directly when I want my generator-cum-context-manager to have more than one yield step. How about: Generators are often used to create context managers with the :class:`contextlib.contextmanager` decorator. https://bugs.python.org/review/13814/diff/14541/Doc/faq/design.rst#newcode83... Doc/faq/design.rst:837: lot harder to find and fix. Automatically closing your generator can just as easily be done with contextlib.closing() Please link to :func:`contextlib.closing` and end the sentence with a full stop. https://bugs.python.org/review/13814/
