Re: How can I tell if I am inside a context manager?

"Perhaps something like this:"

>>x = open('somefile')
>>if hasattr(x, '__enter__'):
>>    return false
>>with open('somefile') as x:
>>    do_something()

>>> class f():
    def __init__(s): pass
    def __enter__(s): return s
    def __exit__(s,a,b,c): return None

>>> x = f()
>>> hasattr(x, '__enter__')
True
>>> with f() as x:
	hasattr(x,'__enter__')

	
True
>>>

As you can see, the object has a '__enter__' method regardless of how
it was created.  Whatever the test, it needs to return False in the
first case and True in the second case, without modifying the class
definition.
