Using context managers when you can't use a with statement is one of the main use cases for contextlib.ExitStack(): def setUp(self): self._resource_stack = stack = contextlib.ExitStack() self._resource = stack.enter_context(MyResource()) def tearDown(self): self._resource_stack.close() I posted that as an additional answer to the question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8416208/in-python-is-there-a-good-idiom-for-using-context-managers-in-setup-teardown/45809502#45809502 Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
