I find that I am often writing code in the following pattern:
foo = MyContextManager(*args) for bar in my_iter: with foo: # do stuff
I think it would be much cleaner to be able to write:
for bar in my_iter with MyContextManager(*args): # do stuff
The parts of the for statement have *no connection at all* to the parts of the with statement. They're just stuck together which doesn't make much sense to me. When I read the subject of the original mail I immediately thought of this case: with open(foo) as _: for line in _: # stuff which would at least make some sense if we could splice these together as with line in open(foo): #stuff But no matter how common this might be, I have to agree with: On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 9:32 PM, Chris Rebert <pyideas@rebertia.com> wrote:
