That reminds me of something; in PEP 333 I proposed use of a 'close()' attribute in anticipation of PEP 325, so that web applications implemented as generators could take advantage of resource cleanup. Is there any chance that as part of PEP 340, 'close()' could translate to the same as '__exit__(StopIteration)'? If not, modifying PEP 333 to support '__exit__' is going to be a bit of a pain, especially since there's code in the field now with that assumption. _______________________________________________ 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
