Asynchronous context manager

Since Python 3.7, you can write:

from contextlib import asynccontextmanager

@asynccontextmanager
async def smtp_connection():
    client = SMTPAsync()
    ...

    try:
        await client.connect(smtp_url, smtp_port)
        await client.starttls()
        await client.login(smtp_username, smtp_password)
        yield client
    finally:
        await client.quit()

Before 3.7, you can use the async_generator package for this. On 3.6, you can write:

# This import changed, everything else is the same
from async_generator import asynccontextmanager

@asynccontextmanager
async def smtp_connection():
    client = SMTPAsync()
    ...

    try:
        await client.connect(smtp_url, smtp_port)
        await client.starttls()
        await client.login(smtp_username, smtp_password)
        yield client
    finally:
        await client.quit()

And if you want to work all the way back to 3.5, you can write:

# This import changed again:
from async_generator import asynccontextmanager, async_generator, yield_

@asynccontextmanager
@async_generator      # <-- added this
async def smtp_connection():
    client = SMTPAsync()
    ...

    try:
        await client.connect(smtp_url, smtp_port)
        await client.starttls()
        await client.login(smtp_username, smtp_password)
        await yield_(client)    # <-- this line changed
    finally:
        await client.quit()
