[Python-Dev] PEP 377 - allow __enter__() methods to skip the statement body

[Nick Coghlan]

PEP 377 is a proposal to allow context manager __enter__() methods to
skip the body of the with statement by raising a specific (new) flow
control exception.

Since there is a working reference implementation now, I thought it was
time to open it up for broader discussion.

Full PEP attached, or you can find it in the usual place at
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0377

Cheers,
Nick.

P.S. I expect a rationale for the StatementSkipped value binding is
probably going to be pretty high on the list of questions that aren't
currently covered by the PEP. I hope to write more on that some time
this week.
