What is the equivalent of the C# “using” block in IronPython?

Question

What\'s the equivalent of this in IronPython? Is it just a try-finally block?

using (var something = new ClassThatImp         


        

Answer 1

the using block is in fact the following under the hood:

try {
  (do something unmanaged here)
}
finally {
  unmanagedObject.Dispose();
}

Hope this helps you understand the logic behind the using statement.
