Context Managers Là Gì?

Context Manager là object quản lý resources và đảm bảo cleanup code luôn được thực thi.

The Problem

# Without context manager - risky!file = open('data.txt', 'r')content = file.read()# What if exception happens here?file.close()  # Might never execute! # Better - but verbosefile = open('data.txt', 'r')try:    content = file.read()finally:    file.close()  # Always executes

The Solution - with Statement

# With context manager - clean and safe!with open('data.txt', 'r') as file:    content = file.read()# file.close() automatically called! # Multiple context managerswith open('input.txt', 'r') as infile, open('output.txt', 'w') as outfile:    content = infile.read()    outfile.write(content.upper())# Both files closed automatically

Context Manager Protocol

Context manager implement 2 methods: __enter__ và __exit__.

Basic Structure

class MyContextManager:    """Basic context manager."""        def __enter__(self):        """        Called when entering 'with' block.        Return value is assigned to 'as' variable.        """        print("Entering context")        return self  # Or any object        def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):        """        Called when exiting 'with' block.                Args:            exc_type: Exception class (or None)            exc_value: Exception instance (or None)            traceback: Traceback object (or None)                Returns:            True: Suppress exception            False/None: Propagate exception        """        print("Exiting context")        return False  # Don't suppress exceptions # Usagewith MyContextManager() as cm:    print("Inside context")# Output:# Entering context# Inside context# Exiting context

How it Works

# This code:with context_manager as var:    # code block    pass # Is equivalent to:var = context_manager.__enter__()try:    # code block    passfinally:    context_manager.__exit__(None, None, None)

Custom Context Managers

1. File Handler

class FileHandler:    """Custom file context manager."""        def __init__(self, filename, mode='r'):        self.filename = filename        self.mode = mode        self.file = None        def __enter__(self):        print(f"Opening {self.filename}")        self.file = open(self.filename, self.mode)        return self.file        def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):        print(f"Closing {self.filename}")        if self.file:            self.file.close()        return False # Usagewith FileHandler('test.txt', 'w') as f:    f.write("Hello, World!")# Opening test.txt# Closing test.txt # Verify file was writtenwith open('test.txt', 'r') as f:    print(f.read())  # Hello, World!

2. Timer Context Manager

import time class Timer:    """Measure execution time."""        def __init__(self, name="Operation"):        self.name = name        self.start_time = None        self.elapsed = None        def __enter__(self):        print(f"Starting {self.name}...")        self.start_time = time.time()        return self        def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):        self.elapsed = time.time() - self.start_time        print(f"{self.name} took {self.elapsed:.4f} seconds")        return False # Usagewith Timer("Data processing"):    # Simulate work    time.sleep(1)    total = sum(range(1000000))# Starting Data processing...# Data processing took 1.0234 seconds # Access elapsed timewith Timer("Calculation") as timer:    result = sum(range(1000000)) print(f"Elapsed: {timer.elapsed:.4f}s")

3. Database Connection

class DatabaseConnection:    """Database connection context manager."""        def __init__(self, host, database):        self.host = host        self.database = database        self.connection = None        def __enter__(self):        print(f"Connecting to {self.database} on {self.host}")        # Simulate connection        self.connection = {            'host': self.host,            'database': self.database,            'connected': True        }        return self.connection        def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):        print(f"Closing connection to {self.database}")        if self.connection:            self.connection['connected'] = False        return False # Usagewith DatabaseConnection('localhost', 'mydb') as conn:    print(f"Connected: {conn['connected']}")    # Execute queries...# Connecting to mydb on localhost# Connected: True# Closing connection to mydb

4. Directory Changer

import os class ChangeDirectory:    """Temporarily change working directory."""        def __init__(self, path):        self.path = path        self.old_path = None        def __enter__(self):        self.old_path = os.getcwd()        print(f"Changing directory: {self.old_path} -> {self.path}")        os.chdir(self.path)        return self.path        def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):        print(f"Restoring directory: {self.path} -> {self.old_path}")        os.chdir(self.old_path)        return False # Usageprint(f"Current: {os.getcwd()}") with ChangeDirectory('/tmp'):    print(f"Inside with: {os.getcwd()}")    # Do work in /tmp print(f"After with: {os.getcwd()}")

5. Suppressing Exceptions

class SuppressException:    """Suppress specific exceptions."""        def __init__(self, *exceptions):        self.exceptions = exceptions        def __enter__(self):        return self        def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):        # Return True to suppress exception        if exc_type is not None:            if issubclass(exc_type, self.exceptions):                print(f"Suppressed {exc_type.__name__}: {exc_value}")                return True  # Suppress        return False  # Don't suppress # Usageprint("Before") with SuppressException(ValueError, TypeError):    print("Inside")    raise ValueError("This error is suppressed")    print("This won't execute") print("After - execution continues!")# Before# Inside# Suppressed ValueError: This error is suppressed# After - execution continues! # Unsuppressed exceptiontry:    with SuppressException(ValueError):        raise KeyError("This will propagate")except KeyError as e:    print(f"Caught: {e}")

contextlib Module

Module contextlib cung cấp utilities để tạo context managers dễ hơn.

Best Practices

# 1. Always clean up in __exit__ or finally@contextmanagerdef resource_manager():    resource = acquire_resource()    try:        yield resource    finally:        release_resource(resource)  # Always executes # 2. Return False from __exit__ unless suppressingdef __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):    self.cleanup()    return False  # Let exceptions propagate # 3. Use contextlib for simple casesfrom contextlib import contextmanager @contextmanagerdef simple_context():    # Setup    try:        yield    finally:        # Cleanup        pass # 4. Document exception handling@contextmanagerdef documented_context():    """    Context manager that handles resources.        Exceptions are propagated after cleanup.    """    pass # 5. Use ExitStack for multiple resourcesfrom contextlib import ExitStack with ExitStack() as stack:    files = [stack.enter_context(open(f)) for f in filenames]    # All closed automatically
