Thanks Nathan,
very interesting insight.

These two snippets are pretty much functionally identical:
with group:
    # Do something...
# ------
group.begin()
try:
    # Do something...
finally:
    group.end()
The `with`statement works with objects that implement Python's context manager protocol (https://docs.python.org/2/reference/datamodel.html#with-statement-context-managers). Basically, if a class implements __enter__ and __exit__ methods, it can be used as the context manager in a `with` statement. When the block inside the `with` statement begins, the context manager's .__enter__() method is called, and when the block exits, the context manager's .__exit__() method is called unconditionally (even if an exception occurs in the block). When using a Group node as a context manager, its .begin() method will be called by .__enter__(), and .end() will be called by .__exit__(). Thus, this is redundant:
with group:
    group.begin()
    # Do something...
    group.end()
It's worth noting that Nuke currently always returns the current context to the root node when a group context is exited, rather than to whatever context it was in before the context was changed to the group, though this is logged as a bug.
Hope that helps.

Hi all,
That's a good question;
I've been using the /*with */statement as well with success.
I'm curious of what is the best method.
Cheers,
Justin

This leads to a slightly tangential discussion... I used to always use:

with group:
     (inner node stuff)

which generally seemed to work; but so many people use begin() that now I play it safe and do:

with group:
    group.begin()
    (inner node stuff)
    group.end()

But perhaps someone can explain what the theoretical and functional differences are between "with group" and "group.begin()", and whether by combining them I'm causing even more problems...

Thanks!
Den
