Target Milestone --- 

Right now we are relying on the ga=
rbage collector to clean up interactive
shells after they fall out of scope, and this is fine for applications like=
 a
python shell where it doesn't really matter if we run multiple at once.
However, some applications (such as primary applications in DPDK) cannot ru=
n if
there is an instance of another specific application running. Because of th=
is,
we need to be able to guarantee that these critical applications close at
certain times but the python garbage collector makes no guarantees for when=
 it
cleans up these objects.=20

One of the ways to make this more explicit which is being looked into right=
 now
is a context manager. A context manager will help guarantee that when the
application is needed in its context block, it will be running, but as soon=
 as
we exit the block (whether through exceptions being raised, reaching the en=
d of
the block, or anything that would take the code out of that scope) the
application is properly cleaned up. This allows many more guarantees for wh=
en
these critical applications are running and exactly when they close.
