A note on Python's __exit__() and errors




























Python's context managers are a very neat way of handling code that needs a teardown once you are done. Python objects have do have a destructor method ( __del__ ) called right before the last instance of the object is about to be destroyed. You can do a teardown there. However there is a lot of fine print  to the __del__  method. A cleaner way of doing tear-downs is through Python's context manager , manifested as the with  keyword.   class CrushMe:   def __init__(self):     self.f = open('test.txt', 'w')    def foo(self, a, b):     self.f.write(str(a - b))    def __enter__(self):     return self    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):     self.f.close()     return True  with CrushMe() as c:   c.foo(2, 3)  One thing that is important, and that got me just now, is error handling. I made the mistake of ignoring all those 'junk' arguments ( exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb ). I just skimmed the docs and what popped out is that you need to return True or
