New submission from Irit Katriel <iritkatr...@gmail.com>:
In C code, there is a check in print_exception that the value passed in is of
type exception, and it raises TypeError otherwise. This check is not covered by
tests, and indeed it is hard to reach it with tests because the _testcapi
module has this check as well, which blocks it before the interpreter's check
is reached.
In traceback.py, there is no such check so this happens:
>>> traceback.print_exception(12)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Users/iritkatriel/src/cpython-654/Lib/traceback.py", line 121, in
print_exception
value, tb = _parse_value_tb(exc, value, tb)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/Users/iritkatriel/src/cpython-654/Lib/traceback.py", line 102, in
_parse_value_tb
raise TypeError(f"Expected exception, got {exc}")
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: Expected exception, got 12
