Current trunk:

with 1: ... print "1" ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'exit' Isn't that a bit crude? For "for i in 1" there's a better error message, so why shouldn't the above give a TypeError: 'int' object is not a context manager

The for loop has a nice error message because it starts with its own opcode, but the with statement translates pretty much to the code in PEP 343. There's a special opcode at the end to help with unwinding the stack, but at the start it's just normal attribute retrieval opcodes for enter and exit.

def f(): ... with 1: ... pass ... dis.dis(f) 2 0 LOAD_CONST 1 (1) 3 DUP_TOP 4 LOAD_ATTR 0 (exit) 7 STORE_FAST 0 (_[1]) 10 LOAD_ATTR 1 (enter) 13 CALL_FUNCTION 0 16 POP_TOP 17 SETUP_FINALLY 4 (to 24)

3 20 POP_BLOCK 21 LOAD_CONST 0 (None) >> 24 LOAD_FAST 0 ([1]) 27 DELETE_FAST 0 ([1]) 30 WITH_CLEANUP 31 END_FINALLY 32 LOAD_CONST 0 (None) 35 RETURN_VALUE

Cheers, Nick.
