[New-bugs-announce] [issue32234] Add context management to mailbox.Mailbox

[sblondon]

New submission from sblondon <stephane.blondon at gmail.com>:

mailbox.Mailbox has a .close() method that should be called at the end of Mailbox use.
I think it would be nice to use Mailbox instances with a 'with' statement so .close() will be called it automatically. So there is no need to check for which format it's required (yes for mbox, no for Maildir, etc.)

So the source code:
mbox = mailbox.mbox("/path/to/mbox")
...
mbox.close()

could become:
with mailbox.mbox("/path/to/mbox") as mbox:
    ...
