I wanted to see what the examples in PEP340 would look like written with standard class's using object inheritance and overriding to define resource managers. If anyone's interested I can post it. My block class is non-looping as I found in most cases looping isn't required, and looping complicates things because you have to pass around a loop expression due to not all loops will want to behave that same way. The solution was to put the loop in the body method and call a repeat_body method (the repeated body section) which is added to the class when needed.
