try with something as f: many lines of code except some_error: handle error
It saves one line of vertical space, and gets rid of an indentation level for the bulk of the code that rests within the "with" statement. Thoughts?
Your proposal sounds like a very good idea. +1 from me. I like to push your proposal even further and add the full set of exept, else, finally blocks to the with statement. Additionally I'd like to have multiple arguments, too. Example ------- log.info("Starting copy") with somelock, open(infile, 'r') as fin, open(outfile, 'w') as fout: fout.write(fin.read()) except Excption: log.exception("An error has occured") else: log.info("Copy successful") finally: log.info("All done") Equivalent ---------- log.info("Starting copy") try: with somelock: with open(infile, 'r') as fin: with open(outfile, 'w') as fout: fout.write(fin.read()) except Excption: log.exception("An error has occured") else: log.info("Copy successful") finally: log.info("All done") Christian
