I've been experimenting with the 'with' statement (in __future__), and so far I like it. However, I can't get it to work with a cStringIO object. Here's a minimum working example:
### from __future__ import with_statement import cStringIO teststring='this is a test' with cStringIO.StringIO(teststring) as testfile: pass ### I get the following error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "testfile.py", line 6, in <module> with cStringIO.StringIO(teststring) as testfile: AttributeError: 'cStringIO.StringI' object has no attribute '__exit__' So, I'm guessing you can't use the 'with' statement with cStringIO objects? Is this a bug, or do I need to use the 'with' statement differently to get this to work? Thanks, peppergrower -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
