I suggest changing this to something like this:

class tag(object): def init(self,name): self.name = name def enter(self): print "<%s>" % name def exit(self): print "</%s>" % name with tag('html'): # ... etc. So that it's obvious where the implementation is coming from. Otherwise, it looks altogether too magical.

Done - included in the latest version on SF. [1]

Also, the posted draft doesn't explain what happens to the enter return value, either in a literal sense or in the sense of where it fits in the overall concept of context management.

I've tried to clarify this by showing usage of the closing() context manager.

Cheers, Nick.
