Re: [Python-ideas] Avoiding nested for try..finally: atexit for functions?

Sven Marnach dixit (2011-10-20, 16:11):

Why introduce an error handler at all? If you want to handle exceptions inside the with statement, an explicit try-except block would be both more convenient (you don't need an extra function definition) and more flexible (you can use - say - 'except ValueError:' to just catch some exceptions). To give an example, I'd really prefer

with CleanupManager() as cleanup:
    try:
        # do stuff
    except ValueError:
        # handle exception

You are right, that error handler is redundant.

Except that, my code mimics the nested structure of try-finally clauses from the primary OP's example.
