Reopening as a reminder to myself that I have a new PEP I want to write in this
area. The idea is essentially a lighter weight alternative to PEP 377 that adds
an optional __entered__ method to the context management protocol along the
following lines:
_v = cm.__enter__()
try:
if hasattr(cm, "__entered__"):
VAL = cm.__entered__(_v)
else:
VAL = _v
# do stuff
finally:
cm.__exit__(*exception_status)
Providing a second, optional method that is executed *inside* the body will let
CMs do things they can't do now (like skip the body of the with statement)
without significantly affecting the behaviour of normal CMs. Notably,
GeneratorContextManager will be able to use this to more gracefully handle the
case where the generator doesn't yield a value.
I plan to flesh this out into a python-ideas post (and likely a subsequent PEP)
at some point in the next few months.
