[New-bugs-announce] [issue3860] GzipFile and BZ2File should support context manager protocol

[Hagen Fürstenau]

New submission from Hagen Fürstenau <hfuerstenau at gmx.net>:

When you've become used to writing

with open("xzy", "w") as f: 

it's strange when it doesn't work for gzip.open or bz2.BZ2File.
Or is there a reason for them not being context managers?
