I have a condition that can be either True or False and depending on this condition I want to run a block of code inside a with statement or not, something like this:

if use_with:
    with bla_bla_bla:
        # Block of code
else:
    # Block of code

This does work, but it is a horrible code duplication prompt to problems in the future. What is the way of doing this?

Use functions. Write function code once, use multiple times. – Mike Scotty Aug 10 '21 at 08:38
Still have to duplicate the call to the function. – user171780 Aug 10 '21 at 08:39
Do you control `bla_bla_bla` or is it a third-party or built-in context manager? – user2390182 Aug 10 '21 at 08:41

But how can the same block of code be executed within the context created by a `with` or outside of it? – gimix Aug 10 '21 at 08:41
