[DONE] Disconnect uplink

I forgot how easy this is now: import anvil.server from contextlib import contextmanager @contextmanager def open_anvil_connection(uplink_key): anvil.server.connect(uplink_key) print("Connected to Anvil") yield anvil.server.disconnect() print("Disconnected from Anvil") Thats it. Now you can use: with open_anvil_connection(my_uplink_key): stuff = anvil.server.call("some_remote_function") results = blah_blah_do_crunchy_crunchy_on_stuff(stuff) anvil.server.ca…
