Yes, of course. The `with` statement works exactly as previously try...finally. I've tried it in 2.5 and it works perfectly. You have to use `from __future__ import with_statement`, though. This statement will be always enabled in Python 2.6. -- HTH, Rob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
