With class as contextmanager

[This Wiederkehr]

Thank you for your answers. Very appreciated.

I ended up doing it as follows:

class MetaLock(type):

    def __init__(cls, *args):
        super().__init__(*args)
        cls.lock = Lock()
        cls.instances = []

    def register(cls, instance):
        cls.instances.append(instance)

    def __enter__(cls):
        cls.lock.acquire()


    def __exit__(cls, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        for instance in cls.instances:
            instance.cleanup()
        cls.instances = []
        cls.lock.release()
        return False


class Klass(metaclass=MetaLock):

    def __init__(self):
        if not self.__class__.lock.locked():
            raise Exception("You have to use the context manager on
the Class Object!")
        self.__class__.register(self)

    def cleaup(self):
        pass

with Klass:
    inst1 = Klass()
    inst2 = Klass()

    # on leaving the context the cleanup of each instance of Klass is called.

Regards
