You know what, never mind. I'm still going to write the Web-SIG so they know the change is coming, but this is really a very minor thing; just a feature we won't get "for free" as a side effect of PEP 325. Your decorator idea is a trivial solution, but it would also be trivial to allow WSGI server implementations to call __exit__ on generators. None of this affects existing code in the field, because today you can't write a try/finally in a generator anyway. Therefore, nobody is relying on this feature, therefore it's basically moot. _______________________________________________ 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
