[IronPython] with_statement in IronPython 2.6 Alpha

[Dave Fugate]

-X:Python26 was removed before 2.6A1 was shipped.  This should work "out of the box" with 2.6A1:
    C:\Users\dfugate.REDMOND>"C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.6\ipy.exe"
    IronPython 2.6 Alpha 1 (2.6.0.1) on .NET 2.0.50727.3053
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> with file("test.log", "w") as f:
    ...     pass
    ...
    >>> ^Z

    C:\Users\dfugate.REDMOND>"C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.6\ipy.exe"
    IronPython 2.6 Alpha 1 (2.6.0.1) on .NET 2.0.50727.3053
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> from __future__ import with_statement
    >>> ^Z

Elise, can you give a few more details about your setup?  Are you running an IronPython that was installed via IronPython.msi or are you using the zip file full of binaries directly?  Also, are you utilizing ipy.exe or perhaps using the DLR to host Python from C#?  Last but not least, what does %PYTHONPATH% look like on your machine?

I think you need to pass the -X:Python26 command line option in the alpha to enable this.

Can anyone explain to me how to use the with_statement in IronPython 2.6 ?
It is totally unrecognised as a keyword

I've tried the Iron Python 2.5 solution:

from __future__ import with_statement  which gives the error future feature is not defined:with_statement

can anyone help me ?

thanks,

  Elise
