[Python-Dev] About block statement name alternative

[Luis P Caamano]

How about "bracket" or "bracket_with"?  As in:

bracket_with synchronized(lock):
  BLOCK

bracket_with opening("/etc/passwd") as f:
    for line in f:
                print line.rstrip()

bracket_with transactional(db):
   db.store()

bracket_with auto_retry(3, IOError):
    f = urllib.urlopen("http://python.org/peps/pep-0340.html")
    print f.read()

block_with synchronized_opening("/etc/passwd", myLock) as f:
     for line in f:
          print line.rstrip()

def synchronized_opening(lock, filename, mode="r"):
            bracket_with synchronized(lock):
                bracket_with opening(filename) as f:
                    yield f

bracket_with synchronized_opening("/etc/passwd", myLock) as f:
        for line in f:
            print line.rstrip()


Or for that matter, "block_with", as in:

block_with transactional(db):
   db.store()
