	It's weird to not want the __exit__ to be called if it's defined as a 
finally block, which is what you're doing with the way you're using 
contextlib.contextmanager.  The __exit__ block there is effectively 
whatever is after the yield in the generator function you write.  If 
there's code you don't want to always be run, don't put that code inside 
a finally where the yield is in the try.
