You might be able to have it bothways. You could have:

But that's not a tuple, it's a generator. Should generators be context managers? Is anyone seriously suggesting this? I don't think so. Is this solutions looking for problems?
Yes. We have a whole programming language to play with, when "X is hard to read" becomes a problem, it may be time to reach for a better tool. If the context manager line is getting unwieldy, it's often a sign it's time to factor it out to a dedicated helper, or break it up into multiple with statements :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
