[New-bugs-announce] [issue4972] let's equip ftplib.FTP with __enter__ and __exit__

[Tarek Ziadé]

New submission from Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek at gmail.com>:

In a program, I naturally wrote:

    >>> from ftplib import FTP
    >>> with FTP('ftp.somewhere.com') as ftp:
    ...     ftp.login('someone', 'pass')
    ...     ...

Until I realized this class is not equipped with __enter__ and __exit__,

I think it could be a simple and pleasant enhancement to add it.
