`defer` allows to schedule a cleanup to be executed when current function returns. It is similar to `try`/`finally` but does not force the cleanup part to be far away in the end. For example:: wc = wcfs.join(zurl) │ wc = wcfs.join(zurl) defer(wc.close) │ try: │ ... ... │ ... ... │ ... ... │ finally: │ wc.close() For completeness there is `recover` and `panic` that allow to program with Go-style error handling, for example:: def _(): r = recover() if r is not None: print("recovered. error was: %s" % (r,)) defer(_) ... panic("aaa") But `recover` and `panic` are probably of less utility since they can be practically natively modelled with `try`/`except`. If `defer` is used, the function that uses it must be wrapped with `@func` or `@method` decorators. The implementation is partly inspired by work of Denis Kolodin: - https://habr.com/post/191786 - https://stackoverflow.com/a/43028386/9456786
