Guido's reserving "with" for this purpose in some future Python:

     with x.y:
         .z = spam    # set x.y.z = spam
         print .q.r   # print x.y.q.r

I updated the Wiki page, and added another syntax, the original "def 
function() [decorator]:" syntax.  Interestingly, it looks like one of the 
options with the most pluses and fewest minuses of any syntax you've listed 
on that page; it's only ugly for long decorator definitions, and Guido said 
he didn't care if a syntax was ugly.  :)
