In Python this can probably be done and perhaps is slightly more
readble with the "with" statement and a context manager:

def foo(param):
   try:
      with ResourceAllocator(50000) as resource:
         resource[param] = 5
         return 1
   except:
      return 0

Now I know I'm only adding to the discussion (argument) but
hey it's all in good fun until someone looses an eyeball!

cheers
