Multiple variables in a ‘with’ statement?

by

It is possible in Python 3 since v3.1 and Python 2.7. The new with syntax supports multiple context managers:

with A() as a, B() as b, C() as c:
    doSomething(a,b,c)

Unlike the contextlib.nested, this guarantees that a and b will have their __exit__()‘s called even if C() or it’s __enter__() method raises an exception.

You can also use earlier variables in later definitions (h/t Ahmad below):

with A() as a, B(a) as b, C(a, b) as c:
    doSomething(a, c)

As of Python 3.10, you can use parentheses:

with (
    A() as a, 
    B(a) as b, 
    C(a, b) as c,
):
    doSomething(a, c)
