suspect-devices/circuitpython/tests/misc/sys_exc_info.py, branch v1.8.6 CircuitPython - a Python implementation for teaching coding with microcontrollers https://git.suspectdevices.com/suspect-devices/circuitpython/atom?h=v1.8.6 2015-04-25T22:40:37+00:00 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.
