You don't want to check if it's a generator, you want to check if it's a function whose funccode has the relavent bit set.

Fair point :)

Seems a bit magical to me, but haven't thought about it hard.

Same here - I'm just starting to think that the alternative is worse, because it leaves open the nonsensical possibility of writing a with method as a generator without applying the contextmanager decorator, and that would just be bizarre - if you want to get an iterable, why aren't you writing an iter method instead?

Cheers, Nick.
