After many rounds of discussion on python-dev, I'm inviting public comments for PEP 343. Rather than posting the entire PEP text here, I'm inviting everyone to read it on line (http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0343.html) and then post comments on a Wiki page I've created for this purpose (http://wiki.python.org/moin/WithStatement).
I think this is a good one; I hope people agree. Its acceptance will obsolete about 4 other PEPs! (A sign that it fulfills a need and that the proposed solution is powerful.) -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
