Irit Katriel <iritkatr...@gmail.com> added the comment: I see what you mean. I think it's ok in traceback.py to reject an exception clone which is not an instance of BaseException. I agree this should not be backported. You could make that explicit by adding a few words to this sentence in the doc, to make it about the exc value as well as the traceback:
"The module uses traceback objects — this is the object type that is stored in the sys.last_traceback variable and returned as the third item from sys.exc_info()." (https://docs.python.org/3/library/traceback.html) The C code fix doesn't need to be backported either - this issue is not something a user had a problem with, we found it through test coverage. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45615> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
