I like the PEP very much; I guess most C++ programmers are missing that
capability in Python. (I was following the discussion on python-dev,
and I'm pleased and surprised how good the result/compromise is).
What about making the ':' optional (and end implicitly at end of current
block) to avoid over-indentation?
def foo():
with locking(someMutex)
with opening(readFilename) as input
with opening(writeFilename) as output
...
would be equivalent to:
def foo():
with locking(someMutex)
with opening(readFilename) as input
with opening(writeFilename) as output
...
