+decorator that are useful for writing context managers.
 
-% XXX describe further
+The decorator is called \function{contextmanager}, and lets you write
+a simple context manager as a generator.  The generator should yield
+exactly one value.  The code up to the \keyword{yield} will be
+executed as the \method{__enter__()} method, and the value yielded
+will be the method's return value that will get bound to the variable
+in the \keyword{with} statement's \keyword{as} clause, if any.  The
+code after the \keyword{yield} will be executed in the
+\method{__exit__()} method.  Any exception raised in the block 
+will be raised by the \keyword{yield} statement.
+
+Our database example from the previous section could be written 
+using this decorator as:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+from contextlib import contextmanager
+
+@contextmanager
+def db_transaction (connection):
+    cursor = connection.cursor()
+    try:
+        yield cursor
+    except:
+        connection.rollback()
+        raise
+    else:
+        connection.commit()
+
+db = DatabaseConnection()
+with db_transaction(db) as cursor:
+    ...
+\end{verbatim}
+
+There's a \function{nested(\var{mgr1}, \var{mgr2}, ...)} manager that 
+combines a number of context managers so you don't need to write 
+nested \keyword{with} statements.  This example
+both uses a database transaction and also acquires a thread lock:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+lock = threading.Lock()
+with nested (db_transaction(db), lock) as (cursor, locked):
+    ...
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Finally, the \function{closing(\var{object})} context manager 
+returns \var{object} so that it can be bound to a variable,
+and calls \code{\var{object}.close()} at the end of the block.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+with closing(open('/tmp/file', 'r')) as f:
+    for line in f:
+        ...
