Is this actual code? I may be mistaken, but at least in Python 3.x it seems 
there should be a comma between each 'with' expression. And there should 
certainly be a colon at the end.

It's best to copy and paste real code.

Made-up code can just be misleading for those who'd like to help.

Possibly I'm misunderstanding what you mean, but have you thought of using a loop?
