Amaury, please do revert 60189. There is no reason to destabalize this
code, slow it down, and introduce new dependencies.
Use of the with-statement is not in and of itself a "best practice".
Where it really shines is in factoring-away repeated setup/teardown
code.
Modules that serve as elemental building blocks (like threading, Queue,
heapq, etc) need to have fast, clean code with as few dependencies as
possible.
Also, we should change/modernize something like asyncore or threading
with a great deal of care and restraint. It is too easy to introduce
hard to find bugs in this code. It took a long time for this code to
stabalize and we should enjoy the benefits of its maturity.
