if you have Python 2.5, you can try it out yourself:

 >>> dict(with=1)
<stdin>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
{'with': 1}

 >>> from __future__ import with_statement
 >>> dict(with=1)
   File "<stdin>", line 1
     dict(with=1)
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
