open(bar) could shadow open(foo), just like in this: with open(foo): .write(baz) # refers to foo with open(bar): .write(baz) # refers to bar, shadowing foo There's no ambiguity here: last one seen wins, the same rule used all over Python: import math as m, string as m, urllib as m, decimal as m x, x, x, x = 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. So I don't think this is an insurmountable problem.
Hopefully it would raise an exception,
Then you are suggesting that an attribute is looked up at runtime on _all_ objects declared in all live 'with' scopes every time one is referenced in order to determine if it's an ambiguous reference (at the time of that reference).
O(n). I'm pretty sure that will never happen.
But for very small n. I mean, if you somehow manage to nest five or six hundred with statements, you probably deserve whatever happens to you... *wink* -- Steve
