New submission from Yellow Dusk <yellow.dusk1...@fastmail.com>:
testExceptionCleanupNames() is supposed to test that the local variable bound
to the exception instance is only visible inside the except block, and tests
that by checking whether the name is in locals(), but it actually deletes the
name before that, so it appears it isn't testing what it's supposed to be
testing.
```
try:
raise Exception()
except Exception as e:
self.assertTrue(e)
del e
self.assertNotIn('e', locals())
```
