New submission from Sinisa Segvic <sinisa.seg...@fer.hr>: Hi,
The documentation says: """ If the finally clause raises another exception (...) the saved exception is lost. """ This does not appear to be true. In the example below the backtrace shows both exceptions. >>> import math >>> try: ... 1/0 ... finally: ... math.sqrt(-1) ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module> ZeroDivisionError: division by zero During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 4, in <module> ValueError: math domain error Cheers, SiniĊĦa ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 150544 nosy: docs@python, ssegvic priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Raising exceptions from finally works better than advertised in the documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13705> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
