<p>This module provides utilities for common tasks involving the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">with</span></tt></a>
statement. For more information see also <a class="reference internal" href="stdtypes.html#typecontextmanager"><em>Context Manager Types</em></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#context-managers"><em>With Statement Context Managers</em></a>.</p>
<p>Functions provided:</p>
<dl class="function">
<dt id="contextlib.contextmanager">

<dd><p>This function is a <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-decorator"><em class="xref std std-term">decorator</em></a> that can be used to define a factory
function for <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">with</span></tt></a> statement context managers, without needing to
create a class or separate <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__enter__" title="object.__enter__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__enter__()</span></tt></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__exit__" title="object.__exit__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__exit__()</span></tt></a> methods.</p>
<p>A simple example (this is not recommended as a real way of generating HTML!):</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>from contextlib import contextmanager

@contextmanager
def tag(name):
    print "&lt;%s&gt;" % name
    yield
    print "&lt;/%s&gt;" % name

&gt;&gt;&gt; with tag("h1"):
...    print "foo"
...
&lt;h1&gt;
foo
&lt;/h1&gt;</pre>
</div>
<p>The function being decorated must return a <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-generator"><em class="xref std std-term">generator</em></a>-iterator when
called. This iterator must yield exactly one value, which will be bound to
the targets in the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">with</span></tt></a> statement&#8217;s <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#as"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">as</span></tt></a> clause, if any.</p>
<p>At the point where the generator yields, the block nested in the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">with</span></tt></a>
statement is executed.  The generator is then resumed after the block is exited.
If an unhandled exception occurs in the block, it is reraised inside the
generator at the point where the yield occurred.  Thus, you can use a
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#try"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">try</span></tt></a>...<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#except"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">except</span></tt></a>...<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#finally"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">finally</span></tt></a> statement to trap
the error (if any), or ensure that some cleanup takes place. If an exception is
trapped merely in order to log it or to perform some action (rather than to
suppress it entirely), the generator must reraise that exception. Otherwise the
generator context manager will indicate to the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">with</span></tt></a> statement that
the exception has been handled, and execution will resume with the statement
immediately following the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">with</span></tt></a> statement.</p>

<dd><p>Combine multiple context managers into a single nested context manager.</p>
<p>This function has been deprecated in favour of the multiple manager form
of the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">with</span></tt></a> statement.</p>
<p>The one advantage of this function over the multiple manager form of the
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">with</span></tt></a> statement is that argument unpacking allows it to be
used with a variable number of context managers as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">contextlib</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">nested</span>

<span class="k">with</span> <span class="n">nested</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="o">*</span><span class="n">managers</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="n">do_something</span><span class="p">()</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Note that if the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__exit__" title="object.__exit__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__exit__()</span></tt></a> method of one of the nested context managers
indicates an exception should be suppressed, no exception information will be
passed to any remaining outer context managers. Similarly, if the
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__exit__" title="object.__exit__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__exit__()</span></tt></a> method of one of the nested managers raises an exception, any
previous exception state will be lost; the new exception will be passed to the
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__exit__" title="object.__exit__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__exit__()</span></tt></a> methods of any remaining outer context managers. In general,
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__exit__" title="object.__exit__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__exit__()</span></tt></a> methods should avoid raising exceptions, and in particular they
should not re-raise a passed-in exception.</p>
<p>This function has two major quirks that have led to it being deprecated. Firstly,
as the context managers are all constructed before the function is invoked, the
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__new__" title="object.__new__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__new__()</span></tt></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__init__" title="object.__init__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__init__()</span></tt></a> methods of the inner context managers are
not actually covered by the scope of the outer context managers. That means, for
example, that using <a class="reference internal" href="#contextlib.nested" title="contextlib.nested"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nested()</span></tt></a> to open two files is a programming error as the
first file will not be closed promptly if an exception is thrown when opening
the second file.</p>
<p>Secondly, if the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__enter__" title="object.__enter__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__enter__()</span></tt></a> method of one of the inner context managers
raises an exception that is caught and suppressed by the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__exit__" title="object.__exit__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__exit__()</span></tt></a> method
of one of the outer context managers, this construct will raise
<a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#exceptions.RuntimeError" title="exceptions.RuntimeError"><tt class="xref py py-exc docutils literal"><span class="pre">RuntimeError</span></tt></a> rather than skipping the body of the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">with</span></tt></a>
statement.</p>
<p>Developers that need to support nesting of a variable number of context managers
can either use the <a class="reference internal" href="warnings.html#module-warnings" title="warnings: Issue warning messages and control their disposition."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">warnings</span></tt></a> module to suppress the DeprecationWarning
raised by this function or else use this function as a model for an application
specific implementation.</p>
<p class="deprecated">
<span class="versionmodified">Deprecated since version 2.7: </span>The with-statement now supports this functionality directly (without the
confusing error prone quirks).</p>
