In Python you can use the with
statement like this (source):
class controlled_execution:
def __enter__(self):
# set things up
return thing
def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
# tear things down
with controlled_execution() as thing:
# some code
In Flask/Jinja2, the standard procedure for using flash messages is the following (source):
{% with messages = get_flashed_messages() %}
{% if messages %}
{% for message in messages %}
<!-- do stuff with `message` -->
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endwith %}
I'd like to know how {% with messages = get_flashed_messages() %}
works in terms of syntax.
I failed to recreate it in pure Python:
with messages = get_flashed_messages(): pass
raisesSyntaxError
with get_flashed_messages() as messages: pass
raisesAttributeError: __exit__
(I've imported get_flashed_messages
from flask
in both cases).

{% with %}
statement in Jinja lets you define variable, but limits the scope of a variable with the{% endwith %}
statement. For example :
Any elements declared in the body will have access to the myvar variable.
