R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

Well, under the (C) hood, it is in fact the same method, it just takes a 
variable number of arguments (and ignores them, in the __exit__ case).  The 
fact that the arguments are rejected in the 'release' case is because of how 
the C function is defined as a Python method using the C API.  So the result of 
the boolean test is more accurate than a False report would be, although not 
precise.  

I don't *think* there is any bug to fix here.  Do you have a use case that this 
impacts?
