I am defining a context manager class and I would like to be able to skip the block of code without raising an exception if certain conditions are met during instantiation. For example,
class My_Context(object):
def __init__(self,mode=0):
"""
if mode = 0, proceed as normal
if mode = 1, do not execute block
"""
self.mode=mode
def __enter__(self):
if self.mode==1:
print 'Exiting...'
CODE TO EXIT PREMATURELY
def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
print 'Exiting...'
with My_Context(mode=1):
print 'Executing block of codes...'
If you want an ad-hoc solution that uses the ideas from withhacks (specifically from AnonymousBlocksInPython), this will work:
import sys
import inspect
class My_Context(object):
def __init__(self,mode=0):
"""
if mode = 0, proceed as normal
if mode = 1, do not execute block
"""
self.mode=mode
def __enter__(self):
if self.mode==1:
print 'Met block-skipping criterion ...'
# Do some magic
sys.settrace(lambda *args, **keys: None)
frame = inspect.currentframe(1)
frame.f_trace = self.trace
def trace(self, frame, event, arg):
raise
def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
print 'Exiting context ...'
return True
Compare the following:
with My_Context(mode=1):
print 'Executing block of code ...'
with
with My_Context(mode=0):
print 'Executing block of code ... '
