No doubt. However, it's not obvious what happens to an exception in EXPR; surely it can't be passed to EXPR's __exit__ method. So, is it handled by the try, or does it pass out of the block? Whichever answer you give, there is somebody who will think the opposite. And this is precisely the ambiguity I've been talking about. In contrast, a 'with' unmixed with 'try' is absolutely unambiguous as to which except: clauses handle what exceptions where. _______________________________________________ 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
