Hi. It is not the role of a 'dataStore' object in your object model,
which is why, ideally, you would separate those two functions.
However, if 'dataStore' always needs the printing functionality, you
could built it in for practical reasons. That has the benefit that
you don't need to specify, such as 'print_next_lines( 5 )', how many
lines to print, since the context manager can count for you, and if
you add a line, you won't need to change to 'print_next_lines( 6 )'.
Lastly, you could use two con. managers, such as:
with printing:
with dataStore('measurement1.dat') as d:
magnet.setField(0)
You may or may not find that relevant.
Here is some code and output:
import inspect
class CM( object ):
def __enter__(self):
self.startline= inspect.stack( )[ 1 ][ 0 ].f_lineno
def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):
endline= inspect.stack( )[ 1 ][ 0 ].f_lineno
print self.startline, endline
with CM(): #line 9
a= 0
b= 1
c= 2
with CM(): #line 14
d= 3
e= 4
/Output:
9 12
14 16
