问题

Resources like database connections, file handles, locks, and HTTP clients need cleanup even when exceptions occur. Using try/finally everywhere is verbose. Need the context manager pattern for both classes and simple functions.

解决方案

Implement context managers with <code>__enter__/__exit__</code> or <code>@contextmanager</code>: <div class="highlight"><pre><code>from contextlib import contextmanager, asynccontextmanager from typing import Generator, AsyncGenerator # Class-based context manager class DatabaseTransaction: def __init__(self, session): self.session = session async def __aenter__(self): await self.session.begin() return self.session async def __aexit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb): if exc_type is not None: await self.session.rollback() else: await self.session.commit() return False # Don't suppress exceptions # Generator-based (simpler) @contextmanager def timer(name: str) -> Generator[None, None, None]: import time start = time.perf_counter() try: yield finally: elapsed = time.perf_counter() - start print(f'{name}: {elapsed:.3f}s') @asynccontextmanager async def managed_http_client(base_url: str) -> AsyncGenerator[httpx.AsyncClient, None]: client = httpx.AsyncClient(base_url=base_url, timeout=30.0) try: yield client finally: await client.aclose() # Nesting context managers async def process_with_resources(data: dict) -> dict: async with managed_http_client('https://api.example.com') as client: async with DatabaseTransaction(session) as tx: with timer('processing'): result = await client.post('/process', json=data) await tx.execute(insert(Log).values(data=data)) return result.json() # contextlib.ExitStack for dynamic context managers from contextlib import AsyncExitStack async def open_multiple_clients(urls: list[str]): async with AsyncExitStack() as stack: clients = [ await stack.enter_async_context(managed_http_client(url)) for url in urls ] # All clients are open here results = await asyncio.gather(*[c.get('/status') for c in clients]) # All clients closed here return results </code></pre></div> <code>__aexit__</code> returning <code>True</code> suppresses the exception; <code>False</code> or <code>None</code> re-raises it. <code>AsyncExitStack</code> is invaluable for dynamic resource management where the number of resources isn't known at compile time.
