+1 for context maker.

[me, Terry]

I would call the decorator @contextmaker since that is what it turns the >> decorated function into.

I'm confused here. Do we agree that the object with enter and >exit is a context manager,

I believe so, either that or, for short, context

and the object with just context is a context maker ?

If that is what goes after 'with', yes.

If so , I would say the decorator still produces a context manager.

If I misunderstood what the decorator produces, then @contextmaker would be wrong. Actually, I thought there were possibly two decorators under consideration, one for each.
