Doesn’t `closing` already take care of that (and other things besides files, too)? I’m not really sure what problem we’re trying to solve here. Having a way to construct file objects without opening them, so you can do all the actual opens in a with statement, and there’s no easy way to get it wrong? (Which still wouldn’t really be true, because there’s always the trap of writing a generator function that uses a with that only cleans up if the generator is cleaned up…) Or breaking file objects up into as many orthogonal pieces as possible to see if there’s a better way to reassemble them? _______________________________________________ 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/SXWNYP4QZPMUINZ5FOB2VQ3CUJQDY5SR/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
