Secondly, the documentation now shows an example of a class with a close() method using contextlib.closing directly as its own context() method.

Sadly, that would only work if closing() were a function. Classes don't get turned into methods, so you'll need to change that example to use:

 def __context__(self):
     return closing(self)

instead.
