This patch allows many context managers to accept keyword arguments called “func” and “self”. Current behaviour:

>>> with TestCase().subTest(func="blaua"): pass
... 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/contextlib.py", line 126, in helper
    return _GeneratorContextManager(func, *args, **kwds)
TypeError: __init__() got multiple values for argument 'func'

Sorry here’s a better version that adapts some monkey-patching in the test suite (test_with).

New version with simpler test; thanks Serhiy.

Looking closer at the history, this actually seems to be a regression caused by revision e4ba097123f6 (Issue 11647). Python 2 is not affected.

But maybe it wouldn’t hurt adding the test case in test_contextlib to Python 2.

The v3 patch looks good to me, and indeed it's a regression I introduced back in 3.2.

I don't see much value in adding the test to the 2.7 test suite (with contextlib2 just a pip install away, it's very unlikely the standard library version will see any significant updates)

LGTM. The patch isn't applied cleanly to 2.7. If you Martin will provide the patch with tests for 2.7, I don't see why not apply it.

Here is a patch with just the test case for 2.7, although I don’t have a strong opinion on whether it needs to be added or not.

Ping.

lgtm.. Serhiy, I think you should just commit it.

My apologies Serhiy, I forgot this was directly assigned to me - all yours now!
