This is possible. I just wanted to expand everyone's minds :) The mechanism is more general than resourcemanagement. Expand your mind. :) "Resource" can include whatever objects you want it to -- or no objects at all. Is printing HTML and guaranteeing ending tags a resource ? I've been reading this thread, and been thinking that Holger Kregel's XPython hack could be implemented using the new with statement. with someencoding: with html: with body: with h1: print "Some heading" with p: print "This is paragraph 1" with p: print "This is paragraph 2" with h2: print "Another heading" The enter/exit for html would be to print respectively and so on. (Though "p" would be special cased, etc)

Phillip's 'context' terminology, on the other hand, applies beautifully:

I think we have a winner. . .

Cheers, Nick.
