[issue12365] URLopener should support context manager protocol
Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment: Thanks for the patch. - This function returns a file-like object with two additional methods from + This function returns a file-like object that supports the Context Manager + protocol, with two additional methods from The capitalization seems unneeded to me. Also, in my opinion saying “file-like” implies support for the context manager protocol, even if not all file-likes do, and anyway not all users share my assumption. What do you think about this wording: This function returns a file-like object that works as a :term:`context manager` and has two additional methods from the :mod:`urllib.response` module The term role creates a link to the glossary. (BTW the entry for context manager could be improved to give open as example; I’ll do that.) +It is also possible to achieve the same result using a context manager +approach. :: I would rather use with statements everywhere, or if it makes sense to have examples both with and without with, to put the example with with first. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12365 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Jeff McNeil j...@jmcneil.net added the comment: Yeah, updated with different wording and proper caps. I left the piece in regarding the use without the context manager as I think that's probably the more common use case still. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24832/urllib_request_doc.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12365 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue12365] URLopener should support context manager protocol
Senthil Kumaran sent...@uthcode.com added the comment:
I forgot completely, but in Python3, Issue5418 had already added
support to addinfourl. It is now possible to write code like
import urllib.request
with urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org') as req:
res = req.read()
But yeah, unlike normal file objects, it not a strict requirement for
closing those objects as they will be closed when socket connection is
closed.
This is available only 3.x series and I think, a documentation update
should be fine and this report can be closed.

[issue12365] URLopener should support context manager protocol
Senthil Kumaran sent...@uthcode.com added the comment: well, urlopen does return an file like object for socket connection which closes itself when it goes out of scope, as you raised this bug, I think a more explicit context manager like behavior can be tried. But I am afraid that it would complex to implement with the module than it sounds. I see some example illustrated like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1522636/should-i-call-close-after-urllib-urlopen import contextlib with contextlib.closing(urllib.urlopen(u)) as x: ...use x at will here... But it would be good to have this ticket as a feature request open. -- assignee: - orsenthil nosy: +orsenthil status: closed - open ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12365 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12365] URLopener should support context manager protocol
Jeff McNeil j...@jmcneil.net added the comment: Isn't that snippet (contextlib.closing(...)) passing the result of urllib.urlopen to closing? The urlopen call is a factory function of sorts, so there's really no context to manage on its part? Maybe it's just a matter of making that clear? If you can share what you've got in mind, I'd love to give it a go. The urllib stuff I've done thus far has been a great way to get my feet wet! -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12365 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12365] URLopener should support context manager protocol
New submission from Jeff McNeil j...@jmcneil.net: Per discussion within Issue10050, URLopener ought to support the context manager protocol. That allows more idiomatic usage and doesn't require calls to contextlib.closing for use with the 'with' statement. If agreed, I'll create a patch. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 138649 nosy: mcjeff priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: URLopener should support context manager protocol versions: Python 3.1 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12365 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
