Were you only displaying the same short form above? Yes. The specific example given was: with ignore(OSError): os.remove(somefile)

That is certainly nicer than the multi-line form.

Argh. Okay, okay, I'm +1. If they're not gonna read the docs it doesn't matter what we name it, and in it's proper setting it certainly reads well.

Now, if you'll pardon me, I need to go add that to my 2.x collection of goodies. ;)
