This proposal seems to be harking back to the meaning of 'with' in earlier languages, e.g. Pascal, where it makes the fields of a structure temporarily accessible without qualification.
Before we got the current version of 'with' in Python, there were periodic proposals to add a similar kind of 'with', but the consensus was that it was better to just assign the object to a short local name and qualify with that. As far as I can see, the situation hasn't changed. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/3REMRJJGQTXKXEVZGCLIFGI67I3XJYT3/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
