I"m pretty sure this came up recently, and was pretty much rejected.

Another option would be to have json.dump take a file-like-object or a path-like object -- there's plenty of code out there that does that.

hmm.. maybe that was the version that was rejected.

But I like the idea either way. it always seemed cumbersome to me to write the whole context manager in these kinds of cases.

Personally prefer it to be in the json module as it just feels more logical. But that's just a personal choice.

I didn't mention about dumpf as I see a previous thread that became quite controversial (seems like dumps was a more common usage at that time).

Something I forgot to mention : A (non-exact)search for this construct in github (https://github.com/search?q=with+open+%3A+json.load&type=Code) gives 20million+ results. Seems like it's a popular set of statements that people use ...
