[issue29988] with statements are not ensuring that __exit__ is called if __enter__ succeeds

Here's the patch I mentioned: https://github.com/njsmith/cpython/commit/62547dc5ea323a07c25c2047636a02241f518013

It has a crude but effective technique for handling the hanging issue :-). Alternatively one could use the World's Stupidest Coroutine Runner:

def run(coro):
    try:
        coro.send(None)
    except StopIteration:
        pass
    else:
        raise RuntimeError("yielded")

> I'm also wondering how far we might be able to get by adjusting the pending signal processing such that we always execute at least one line from a function before checking for pending signals

Huh, that's a neat idea. I think it's defeated by 'while True: pass', though :-(. (You have to write it on two lines, but it compiles down to a single instruction that jumps to itself.)
