Autotest targets Python 2.4, and Python 2.4 doesn't have the 'with'
statement.
The error context is already a stack, but without the 'with' statement
you would have to use try/finally explicitly:
_new_context('foo')
try:
# [...]
finally:
_pop_context()
By the way, I think we could make _new_context() and _pop_context() part
of the public interface (i.e. remove the "_" from their names). I see
@context_aware as just a helper for a stack interface that could be used
directly if needed.
