with ignore(FileNotFoundError):


vs


with ignored(FileNotFoundError):


To me anyway, the latter sounds better.



I'm still -0, and maybe now -1 on the idea, mostly because it encourages
an anti-pattern.


But, to continue to paint the shed, shouldn't it be "ignoring", to match
"closing"?




Seriously, "with" is the wrong spelling for this using. It should
be



while ignorning(FileNotFoundError)



Insistence on using "with" for the anti-pattern, and proper English,
would require:



with ignorance_of(FileNotFoundError)
