From the "Lib/contextlib.py":
class GeneratorContextManager(object):
"""Helper for @contextmanager decorator."""
def __init__(self, gen):
self.gen = gen
def __enter__(self):
try:
return self.gen.next()
except StopIteration:
raise RuntimeError("generator didn't yield")
The line "raise RuntimerError(...)" never gets reached, since self.gen is None.
So you end up with an AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no
attribute 'next', instead of the proper RuntimeError, making it harder
to debug.
Anyways, I know that it's strange to have a contextmanager that didn't yield.
I just stumbled upon this, by accident, and I think the way it's
implemented looks wrong :)
