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)
I hope you reverted the status to "Proposed"... On the latter: I think it shouldn't; I don't like this kind of magic. I'll have to read it before I can comment on the rest. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
