GzipFile as a Context manager

[Mikolai Fajer]

Is there a reason that the gzip.GzipFile class does not have __enter__
and __exit__ methods that mimic those of the file object?  I expected
the following to work but it doesn't:

import gzip
with gzip.open('temp.gz', 'w') as fhandle:
gzip.write('Hello world.')

If there is no reason to avoid this behavior should I submit a bug
report and a subsequent patch?  Thanks!

Abstract Base Class register function

[Mikolai Fajer]

I have been experimenting with the abc module in py3k and thought
about using the register method of an ABC as a class decorator:


import abc
class MyABC(metaclass=abc.ABCMeta):
pass

@MyABC.register
class MySub():
pass


This doesn't work because the register method returns None.  It would
be a fairly simple modification to have this work:


def register(cls, subclass):
"""Register a virtual subclass of an ABC."""
... etc ...
return subclass


What do people think of this behavior?
