New submission from Alan Robertson <[email protected]>:
When an exception "as" variable occurs, it deletes local variables with the
same name. This is certainly surprising, and doesn't appear to be a documented
behavior (but maybe I don't know where to look). The word "bug" comes to mind.
The following few lines of code illustrate it nicely:
def testme():
err = Exception("nothing worked")
try:
raise ValueError("no value")
except ValueError as err:
pass
print(err)
testme()
