My own expectation, for what it's worth, would be something like
try:
_alpha_set = _beta_set = _gamma_set = _delta_set = False
result = (_alpha_cm := alpha(), _alpha_set:=True)[0].__enter__() and
((same transform for beta) if (...gamma) else (...delta))
finally:
try:
if _delta_set: _delta_cm.__exit__()
finally:
try:
if _gamma_set: _gamma_cm.__exit__()
finally: ...
but this is more of a mess than I originally thought to define in scenarios
with multiple and/or conditionally-used context managers. It's also tempting to
try to define a way to, e.g. only include it in scope for the evaluation of the
condition in if statements and while loops.
