What is the difference between init and enter?
John
appears that anything you want to execute in enter can be done in init.

About what are you talking?

Do you mean __init__ and __enter__?
They are used for two completely different purpose. __init__ is used to
initialize an object when they've just been created. __enter__ is called
when an object enters a Context Manager (i.e. with statement)
Example, when opening a file:
# this calls file.__init__
f = open('foo.bar')
# some codes...
# this calls file.__enter__
with f:
pass

Is there a Cliff's Notes version of this?
I may be a cynic but I would think the people who ask bad questions
are the same sort of people who won't have the patience to sit though
this behemoth of an essay.
And I may be a romantic but I would think most people who post this
are really trying to be helpful and not just saying, "Out of my midst,
vile newbie, until thou hearkenst unto the sacred words".
So, it would seem that a summary (with citations) of the essay would
be useful.

I can do a quick one albeit without citation:
- Have you googled/searched?
- No really, have you?
- Are you really, really sure?
- So what did you 'search for|tried before' which didn't returned a
result you can work with?
- What does that tell you about yourself?
- So what do _you_ think _you_ should do first to solve _your_ problem?
- Okay, fair enough, tell me your problem, give me some background, give
me some examples, skip the waffling, be polite I am here out of my own
good will.

Oh I forgot:
- Be complete, don't forget essential things
- Write simple sentences, I don't want to guess the meaning of your epistle
- Use a spell checker
- It doesn't hurt to reread before hitting the send button

To the extent that's the case, then it benefits the community as a
filter, by making it easier to detect those who aren't going to read a
good essay on how to participate in a community of question-answerers.
On the other hand, I prefer to give questioners the benefit of the doubt
by not discounting the possibility that they *can* read and learn how to
improve the quality of their questions.

Posting a reference to the “asking questions the smart way” essay is,
at least most of the times I've seen it, an explicit effort to be
helpful to the questioner *and* to the community that bears the load of
finding out what the questioner needs answered — both in this instance,
and in any future instance when people who read that suggestion want to
ask other questions.

Perhaps linking directly to this would help:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#before
The table of contents contains a good summary for actually asking
questions. Overall, I'm inclined to agree with people who argue that the
smart questions essay is a good filter; someone unwilling to put in the
work of reading and understanding it is also unwilling to put in the
effort to ask good questions. I mean, I re-read most of that essay once
every couple of years myself.
