* Move the PEP 343 documentation and implementation closer to theNick Coghlan2006-04-252-32/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Checking in the code for PEP 357.Guido van Rossum2006-03-071-0/+7
| | | | | | This was mostly written by Travis Oliphant. I've inspected it all; Neal Norwitz and MvL have also looked at it (in an earlier incarnation).
* PEP 343 -- the with-statement.Guido van Rossum2006-02-271-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido (with help from Neal). This still needs a __future__ statement added; Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect. There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make lltrace a static global).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | breaks the parser module, because it adds the if/else construct as well as two new grammar rules for backward compatibility. If no one else fixes parsermodule, I guess I'll go ahead and fix it later this week. The TeX code was checked with texcheck.py, but not rendered. There is actually a slight incompatibility: >>> (x for x in lambda:0) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: iteration over non-sequence changes into >>> (x for x in lambda: 0) File "<stdin>", line 1 (x for x in lambda: 0) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Since there's no way the former version can be useful, it's probably a bugfix ;)
