I've called that the "context entry value" in a few places (I don't think any
of them were in the actual documentation though).
A sample modification to the reference page:
------------------------------
Here's a more detailed description:
1. The context expression is evaluated, to obtain a context guard.
2. The guard object's __enter__ method is invoked to obtain the context
entry value.
3. If a target list was included in the with statement, the context entry
value is assigned to it.
4. The suite is executed.
5. The guard object's __exit__ method is invoked. If an exception caused
the suite to be exited, its type, value, and traceback are passed as
arguments to __exit__. Otherwise, three None arguments are supplied.
------------------------------
Cheers,
Nick.
