PEP 343 has been updated on python.org.
Highlights of the changes:
- changed the name of the PEP to be simply "The 'with' Statement"
- added with() method
- added section on standard terminology (that is, contexts/context managers)
- changed generator context decorator name to "context"
- Updated "Resolved Issues" section
- updated decimal.Context() example
- updated closing() example so it works for objects without close methods
I also added a new Open Issues section with the questions:
- should the decorator be called "context" or something else, such as the old "contextmanager"? (The PEP currently says "context")
- should the decorator be a builtin? (The PEP currently says yes)
- should the decorator be applied automatically to generators used to write with methods? (The PEP currently says yes)
Cheers, Nick.
