util: introduce ctxmanager, to avoid nested try/finally blocks This is similar in spirit to contextlib.nested in Python <= 2.6, but uses an extra level of indirection to avoid its inability to clean up if an __enter__ method raises an exception. Why add this mechanism? It greatly simplifies scoped resource management, and lets us eliminate several hundred lines of try/finally blocks. In many of these cases the "finally" is separated from the "try" by hundreds of lines of code, which makes the connection between resource acquisition and disposal difficult to follow. (The preferred mechanism would be the "multi-with" syntax of 2.7+, but Mercurial can't move to 2.7 for a while.) Intended use: >>> with ctxmanager(lambda: file('foo'), lambda: file('bar')) as c: >>> f1, f2 = c() This will open both foo and bar when c() is invoked, and will close both upon exit from the block. If the attempt to open bar raises an exception, the block will not be entered - but foo will still be closed.
