Description

Hi all,

I come from the dependency injector library, and recently I've been exploring another library to see if it could potentially replace dependency injector altogether.

I find it quite interesting, but I still have some doubts. For instance, how can I manage resource releases with this new library?

Let's consider a scenario where I have a client that needs to be released in a certain time (out of scope, raising an exception or at the end of a job to clean all resources):

def get_sqs_client_gen() -> Generator[SQSClient, None, None]:
    client: Optional[SQSClient] = None

    try:
        client = get_sqs_client()
        yield client
    finally:
        if client:
            client.close()

Is there a provider within this library to handle such resources, or should I manually handle acquisition and release by passing it as a context manager?

Thank you for your support!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the library's provider APIs and any existing guidance for context managers or resource lifecycles. Determine whether resource acquisition and release are already supported, and whether the appropriate outcome would be a documented usage pattern or a new capability.
