Where I do ask for a new feature
Where I can ask python developers for a new feature? This feature would allow us to create short aliases for long object paths, similar to the with statement. This would make code more readable and maintainable. For example, if we have a long object like "MyObject.stuff.longStuff.SubObject", we could create a short alias for it like this: aliasView my_object.stuff.long_stuff.sub_object as short_view #Now, we can operate with the nested object using the short alias: print(short_view.some_method()) This is much more concise and readable than having to write out the full object path every time. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Yes, you can create one of those ways but what > is the big deal with deleting a variable when no longer used? Assigning a variable to something can be anything else than a temporal alias. A with statement makes clear that the alias is an alias and is local, and it automatically clears the variable after the block code is used. Python clutters the variable space with vars that are needed only on certain places, and an alias doesn't has a scope. Convenient alias are short names, and short names are limited in quantity. If the space is cluttered with short alias, it opens risks for wrong utilization. Its like writing a "for i" in a list comprehension and having to worry if "i" was already used in another place.. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
