Worth noting, though, that if you are using multiple context managers
in a single 'with' statement that you can't use ()s to split them
across multiple lines, you *must* use \s, otherwise it is
syntactically invalid. (Weird, yes, I know. Guido has refused to make
this consistent on python-dev several times iirc.)
