:mod:`contextlib` --- Utilities for :keyword:`with`\ -statement contexts
========================================================================
.. module:: contextlib
:synopsis: Utilities for with-statement contexts.
This module provides utilities for common tasks involving the :keyword:`with`
statement. For more information see also :ref:`typecontextmanager` and
:ref:`context-managers`.
Functions provided:
.. function:: contextmanager(func)
This function is a :term:`decorator` that can be used to define a factory
function for :keyword:`with` statement context managers, without needing to
create a class or separate :meth:`__enter__` and :meth:`__exit__` methods.
A simple example (this is not recommended as a real way of generating HTML!)::
from contextlib import contextmanager
@contextmanager
def tag(name):
print("<%s>" % name)
yield
print("</%s>" % name)
>>> with tag("h1"):
... print("foo")
...
<h1>
foo
</h1>
The function being decorated must return a :term:`generator`-iterator when
called. This iterator must yield exactly one value, which will be bound to
the targets in the :keyword:`with` statement's :keyword:`as` clause, if any.
At the point where the generator yields, the block nested in the :keyword:`with`
statement is executed. The generator is then resumed after the block is exited.
If an unhandled exception occurs in the block, it is reraised inside the
generator at the point where the yield occurred. Thus, you can use a
:keyword:`try`...\ :keyword:`except`...\ :keyword:`finally` statement to trap
the error (if any), or ensure that some cleanup takes place. If an exception is
trapped merely in order to log it or to perform some action (rather than to
suppress it entirely), the generator must reraise that exception. Otherwise the
generator context manager will indicate to the :keyword:`with` statement that
the exception has been handled, and execution will resume with the statement
immediately following the :keyword:`with` statement.
contextmanager uses :class:`ContextDecorator` so the context managers it
creates can be used as decorators as well as in :keyword:`with` statements.
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
Use of :class:`ContextDecorator`.
.. function:: closing(thing)
Return a context manager that closes *thing* upon completion of the block. This
is basically equivalent to::
from contextlib import contextmanager
@contextmanager
def closing(thing):
try:
yield thing
finally:
thing.close()
And lets you write code like this::
from contextlib import closing
from urllib.request import urlopen
with closing(urlopen('http://www.python.org')) as page:
for line in page:
print(line)
without needing to explicitly close ``page``. Even if an error occurs,
``page.close()`` will be called when the :keyword:`with` block is exited.
.. class:: ContextDecorator()
A base class that enables a context manager to also be used as a decorator.
Context managers inheriting from ``ContextDecorator`` have to implement
``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` as normal. ``__exit__`` retains its optional
exception handling even when used as a decorator.
Example::
from contextlib import ContextDecorator
class mycontext(ContextDecorator):
def __enter__(self):
print('Starting')
return self
def __exit__(self, *exc):
print('Finishing')
return False
>>> @mycontext()
... def function():
... print('The bit in the middle')
...
>>> function()
Starting
The bit in the middle
Finishing
>>> with mycontext():
... print('The bit in the middle')
...
Starting
The bit in the middle
Finishing
Existing context managers that already have a base class can be extended by
using ``ContextDecorator`` as a mixin class::
from contextlib import ContextDecorator
class mycontext(ContextBaseClass, ContextDecorator):
def __enter__(self):
return self
def __exit__(self, *exc):
return False
.. versionadded:: 3.2

statement.
