Hi all,
I was wondering whether there has been any particular reason that the
specification of the Cursor object doesn’t implement a context manager
to enable for example the “with” statement?
Being able to use the “with” statement for database cursors, just like
other external resources like files, etc., I think makes a lot of sense:
with conn.cursor()as c:
c.execute("SELECT 'test' from dual")
result = c.fetchall()
print(result)
It does (make sense). The explanation is that context managers did not
exist when the PEP was written. An update is long overdue, IMHO.
