Kristján Valur Jónsson <krist...@ccpgames.com> added the comment: That was a bit abrupt, want't it? Denver is well aware of this and said: "but sometimes using the context manager approach adds unnecessary bloat to already long-winded unit tests."
I happen to agree with him and don't see why we can't discuss this some. We never did discuss this fully in issue 6275, I just tempered my patch a bit to at least get something done. I don't think this should be rejected out of hand simply because TBDFL said that its an "'odd' API for a unittest assert method". assertRaises already return a context manager if called without a callable (an odd api?), and it can just as well return an exception if called _with_ a callable. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9587> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
