See https://bugs.python.org/issue30399 This patch modifies tests that rely on this behaviour to not rely on it. And the python34.py test is updated to include a test for this behaviour with a .exp file. tests: Convert remaining "sys.exit()" to "raise SystemExit". 2017-06-10T17:34:38+00:00 Paul Sokolovsky pfalcon@users.sourceforge.net 2017-06-10T17:14:16+00:00 urn:sha1:85d809d1f4e35a511e0a56b3411126e05a31c01b vm: On exiting except block, clear sys.exc_info() value. 2015-04-25T22:40:37+00:00 Paul Sokolovsky pfalcon@users.sourceforge.net 2015-04-25T22:20:49+00:00 urn:sha1:ae2c81ff388d9b06bc11ac1e14bd5d71b4f4637c This doesn't handle case fo enclosed except blocks, but once again, sys.exc_info() support is a workaround for software which uses it instead of properly catching exceptions via variable in except clause. modsys: Add basic sys.exc_info() implementation. 2015-04-25T00:49:23+00:00 Paul Sokolovsky pfalcon@users.sourceforge.net 2015-04-25T00:17:41+00:00 urn:sha1:8b85d14b92a65e92862861038c0fe96e6c616c3e The implementation is very basic and non-compliant and provided solely for CPython compatibility. The function itself is bad Python2 heritage, its usage is discouraged.
