(The explicit class based nullcontext() implementation is 7 lines, the same as contextlib.closing()) After 7+ years, I'm happy that this one comes up often enough to be worth a more obvious standard library level answer than we'd previously offered. https://bugs.python.org/issue10049#msg281556 captures the point where I really started changing my mind.
