* Move the PEP 343 documentation and implementation closer to theNick Coghlan2006-04-251-24/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | terminology in the alpha 1 documentation. - "context manager" reverts to its alpha 1 definition - the term "context specifier" goes away entirely - contextlib.GeneratorContextManager is renamed GeneratorContext There are still a number of changes relative to alpha 1: - the expression in the with statement is explicitly called the "context expression" in the language reference - the terms 'with statement context', 'context object' or 'with statement context' are used in several places instead of a bare 'context'. The aim of this is to avoid ambiguity in relation to the runtime context set up when the block is executed, and the context objects that already exist in various application domains (such as decimal.Context) - contextlib.contextmanager is renamed to contextfactory This best reflects the nature of the function resulting from the use of that decorator - decimal.ContextManager is renamed to WithStatementContext Simple dropping the 'Manager' part wasn't possible due to the fact that decimal.Context already exists and means something different. WithStatementContext is ugly but workable. A technically unrelated change snuck into this commit: contextlib.closing now avoids the overhead of creating a generator, since it's trivial to implement that particular context manager directly.
