I think I agree with Samuele that it would be more pertinent to put all of this effort into trying to come up with some way to handle cleanup in a generator.
I.e. PEP 325.
But (as I explained, and you agree) that still doesn't render PEP 310 unnecessary, because abusing the for-loop for implied cleanup semantics is ugly and expensive, and would change generator semantics; and it bugs me that the finally clause's reachability depends on the destructor executing.
yes, PEP325 would work in combination with PEP310, whether a combined thing (which cannot be the current for as dicussed) is desirable is a different issue: these anyway
f = file(...):
for line in f:
...vs.
it = gen():
for val in it:
...would be analogous in a PEP310+325 world. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
