This has being thought, asked, and even agreed as nice thing before, however, it is blocked due to ambiguity on the syntax for some corner cases - and, I may be wrong n that, it would not be possible to do with the current parser (and Python is not shifting to a more complex parser for this feature alone). So, anyway, the official recommendation for long `with` statements is to use the `\` line continuation character: ``` with \ open(fname1) as f1,\ open(fname2) as f2,\ open(fname3) as f3,\ open(fname4) as f4\ : ``` On Wed, 13 Nov 2019 at 15:30, <gabriel.kabbe@mail.de> wrote:
Hello everybody,
today I tried to open four files simultaneously by writing
with ( open(fname1) as f1, open(fname2) as f2, open(fname3) as f3, open(fname4) as f4 ): ...
However, this results in a SyntaxError which is caused by the extra brackets. Is there a reason that brackets are not allowed in this place? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/7GRCN5...
