Well, the problem is more general than this specific example. I would like to implement a general solution which would not hold references to local variables, to destroy objects when Python exits the except block. It looks like a "exception summary" containing only data to format the traceback would fit asyncio needs. If you don't want it in the traceback module, I will try to implement it in asyncio. It would be nice to provide an "exception summary" in the traceback module, because it looks like reference cycles related to exception and/or traceback is a common issue (see the list of links I gave in a previous email).
