[issue11647] function decorated with a context manager can only be invoked once

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:

I'm strongly with Antoine on this. If you use context manager as a decorator you should be able to reuse it - and in general both generators and context managers can be reused and so I don't understand the phrase 'moral equivalent of the implicit context manager'.

If having APIs that can be used as context managers *and* decorators is a useful thing (and usage in django, py.test and mock seems to show that it is) then this functionality should be provided.
