It is specified well enough IMO -- you're supposed to take the translation into basic Python seriously. That translation specifies a simple assignment to VAR, and that's what I meant (and what I'm sure most folks understood). IOW VAR lives in the surrounding scope, overwrites a previous value, and survives past the with-statement (unless it is set inside of course). -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
