Hmm, you're right. Also, given implementation of PEP 343, code which
genuinely has to care about this can do so manually:
with async_exceptions_blocked():
with critical_resource():
with async_exceptions_unblocked():
# Do the real work
This ensures acquisition of the critical resource is not interrupted.
Even better, the above can be wrapped up in a template and still give
the desired guarantees:
@stmt_template
def safe_acquisition(resource):
with async_exceptions_blocked():
with resource():
with async_exceptions_unblocked():
yield None
with safe_acquisition(critical_resource):
# Do the real work
Cheers,
Nick.
