See my other posts which bag on both "managed resources" and "guarded". The part about scopes is less clear -- there is certainly a span of action but the scope concept is more closely aligned with namespaces (and we're not creating a new namespace here). For extra credit, any proposed solution ought to also deal with the two kinds of __enter__ methods. One is expected to be used with "as" and the other is not. Neither of the above wordings begin to suggest whether decimal.Context.__enter__ will return a useful value (the PEP has examples of each).
