Apr 8 at 14:24	comment	added	newbie		@GregBurghardt Yes. This is my current choice. I change it as needed, and switch it back afterward. I use a context manager to handle this, and it works fine. But it looks a bit awkward when the code is littered with context managers. So I wonder whether there is a more elegant way to handle this kind of situation.
