What Eric Fahlgren wants is basically the deprecated contextlib.nested function, that function should have the right semantics. See https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Lib/contextlib.py#L88-L129 On Wed, Nov 13, 2019 at 6:55 PM Chris Angelico <rosuav@gmail.com> wrote:
I have used 'with' for so long that I was under the impression that the as-target was just a name as in MRAB's simplified syntax above, so imagine my surprise when I tried putting parentheses around the target and didn't get a syntax error straight away. I of course had to explore a bit, and came up with this. The ugly formatting of the with is simply to show that

Note that the semantics here are NOT the same as the semantics of either ExitStack or a single large 'with' statement. (And I'm not sure whether or not those two are the same.) With your opener, you first open each file, then enter each file; and only then are you considered to be inside the context. With a large 'with' statement, they should (I believe) be opened and entered individually. If one of the files fails to open, your constructor will fail, and self.files won't be set - you won't exit each of the files that you *did* open.
