Python equivalent of golang's defer statement

To emulate defer fmt.Println(*a, i) example, you could use contextlib.ExitStack:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from contextlib import ExitStack
from functools import partial

print("counting")
with ExitStack() as stack:
    for i in range(10):
        a = i
        stack.callback(partial(print, a, i))

    x = 42
    a = x
    print("done")

Output

counting
done
9 9
8 8
7 7
6 6
5 5
4 4
3 3
2 2
1 1
0 0

It is easy to emulate the mutex case:

def some_function(lock=Lock()):
    with lock:
        # whatever

Python's with statement serves a similar purpose to Go's defer.

The similar code in Python is:

mutex = Lock()

def someFunction():
    with mutex:
        # Whatever you want, with as many return statements
        # as you want, wherever. Simply forget that you ever
        # locked a mutex, or that you have to remember to 
        # release it again.

I've made one there (compatible with 2.x):

@defers_collector
def func():
    f = open('file.txt', 'w')
    defer(lambda: f.close())

    defer(lambda : print("Defer called!"))

    def my_defer():
    recover()

    defer(lambda: my_defer())

    print("Ok )")
    panic("WTF?")

    print("Never printed (((")


func()
print("Recovered!")

Source of defers_collector is:

# Go-style error handling

import inspect
import sys

def panic(x):
    raise Exception(x)

def defer(x):
    for f in inspect.stack():
    if '__defers__' in f[0].f_locals:
        f[0].f_locals['__defers__'].append(x)
        break

def recover():
    val = None
    for f in inspect.stack():
    loc = f[0].f_locals
    if f[3] == '__exit__' and '__suppress__' in loc:
        val = loc['exc_value']
        loc['__suppress__'].append(True)
        break
    return val

class DefersContainer(object):
    def __init__(self):
    # List for sustain refer in shallow clone
    self.defers = []

    def append(self, defer):
    self.defers.append(defer)

    def __enter__(self):
    pass

    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):
    __suppress__ = []
    for d in reversed(self.defers):
        try:
            d()
        except:
            __suppress__ = []
            exc_type, exc_value, traceback = sys.exc_info()
    return __suppress__


def defers_collector(func):
    def __wrap__(*args, **kwargs):
    __defers__ = DefersContainer()
    with __defers__:
        func(*args, **kwargs)
    return __wrap__
