Apr 20, 2016 at 12:27	comment	added	301_Moved_Permanently		@user1685095 Yes, obviously it is a context manager returning an SMTP connection. But why do you need it? What are your needs that lead you to that? How do you use it? I also don't really understand the relation between your code and the two snippets below it (except the fact that they both use `contextlib` resources). The more context you provide, the more interesting answers you’ll be able to get. (and optionally the more users will be insterested into giving such an answer.)

Apr 20, 2016 at 10:10	comment	added	user1685095		@MathiasEttinger I think the code is self explanatory. It's context manager that return SMTP connection. Isn't that obvious?

To help reviewers give you better answers, please add sufficient context to your question. The more you tell us about what your code does and what the purpose of doing that is, the easier it will be for reviewers to help you. Questions should include a description of what the code does
