As with a few(!) other things in relation to this PEP, the primary consumers were most interested in the C API side of things, so we collectively missed relevant details on the Python side. +1 on adding release() (obviously), and +1 on direct support for context management (it seems very analogous to file.close to me, so direct support makes more sense than leaving it out). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9757> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
