Multiple contexts in 'With' statement: not just for 2.7 and 3.1

As you know one of the syntax inovations for Python 3.1 and 2.7 is teh possiblity of using multiple,
different contexts in a single "with" statement. I.E. it is now possible to write this:

with open("file1") as f1, open("file2") as f2:
    #do stuff

With earlier Python versions it is thought that one is required to write:

with open("file1") as f1:
    with open("file2") as f2:
        #do stuff

But the fact is that if you are using Python 2.5 or 2.6 you are not bound to use this dreaded nested "with" construct.

A simple class could be used to allow the "flat 'with' statement" with no new syntax added - and it can be used in Python 2.6 (and probably 2.5). In fact, I am not not shure if this syntax enhancement is not in direct violation of "Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules". After all, the "for" statement can be used with multiple variables and no one has to write:

for index in range(len(seq)), value in seq: 
    #do stuff

And now, for something completly different, the multicontext class:

class multicontext(object):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        if (len(args) == 1 and 
               (hasattr(args[0], "__len__") or 
                hasattr(args[0], "__iter__"))):
            self.objs = list(args[0])
        else:
            self.objs = args
    
    def __enter__(self):
        return tuple(obj.__enter__() for obj in self.objs)
    
    def __exit__(self, type_, value, traceback):
        return all([obj.__exit__(type_,value, traceback)
                      for obj in self.objs])

Zip. That is all. No need to upgrade your Python if all you need are flat "with"s.
Usage example and test:

>>> with  multicontext(open("%s.txt" %letter, "wt") for letter in "abc") as (a,b,c):
...   a.write("a")
...   b.write("b")
...   c.write("c")
...
>>> a
<closed file 'a.txt', mode 'wt' at 0x7f4172f17ad0>
>>> b
<closed file 'b.txt', mode 'wt' at 0x7f4172f177a0>
>>> c
<closed file 'c.txt', mode 'wt' at 0x7f4172f179c0>
>>>
