PEP 343 has been updated on python.org. Highlights of the changes: - changed the name of the PEP to be simply "The 'with' Statement" - added __with__() method - added section on standard terminology (that is, contexts/context managers) - changed generator context decorator name to "context" - Updated "Resolved Issues" section - updated decimal.Context() example - updated closing() example so it works for objects without close methods I also added a new Open Issues section with the questions: - should the decorator be called "context" or something else, such as the old "contextmanager"? (The PEP currently says "context") - should the decorator be a builtin? (The PEP currently says yes) - should the decorator be applied automatically to generators used to write __with__ methods? (The PEP currently says yes) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia --------------------------------------------------------------- http://boredomandlaziness.blogspot.com
