[issue12064] unexpected behavior with exception variable

2011-05-12 Thread Mathias Svensson 

New submission from Mathias Svensson frea...@freaken.dk:

Current behavior:
In the very simple attached example an existing variable-name is used as the 
target in the except-part of a try-statement. The existing variable is deleted 
if an exception is throw.

Excepted behavior:
The only reasonable behaviors are keeping the original variable or keeping the 
exception. The current behavior is very unintuitive.

[issue12064] unexpected behavior with exception variable

Eric Snow ericsnowcurren...@gmail.com added the comment:

Duplicate of issue8130.

When an exception has been assigned using as target, it is cleared at the end 
of the except clause. [1]

See: 
[1] http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-try-statement
[2] http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3110/#semantic-changes (discussed in 
issue4617)

Looks like a regression from 2.x.

 e = True
 try: raise Exception()
... except Exception as e: pass
...
 print repr(e)
Exception()

On 3.2:
Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Feb 20 2011, 21:30:00) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win

 e = True
 try: raise Exception()
... except Exception as e: pass

 print(repr(e))
Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError: name 'e' is not defined
