I found a workaround, and probably the reason this has not been detected before:
import sys
def doclear2()
try:
1/0
except ZeroDivisionError:
sys.exc_clear()
try:
1/0
except ZeroDivisionError:
exc = sys.exc_info()[0]
print("third exc (before doclear):", exc)
doclear2()
exc = sys.exc_info()[0]
print("third exc (after doclear):", exc)
assert sys.exc_info()[0] is ZeroDivisionError
The above passes. It seems that being inside a local exception block allows for
the spec to hold, only the "local exception" is cleared.
I still think this is a pretty major bug, but it is good to know what the
workaround/reason it's "been working" is.
