New submission from Jan Pokorny: Encountered a weird behavior when working with variable with the same name as exception's alias.
Observed behavior: - In case variable with the same name (e.g. 'e') already exists when any 'except Error as e' block is executed, the 'e' variable is removed after exception handling finishes (NameError: name 'e' is not defined) - Happens only in Python 3 - Code reproducing the issue included Expected behavior: - Variable is kept in its pre-exception state Proposed solution: - Store colliding variable into temporary variable, restore it afterwards ---------- components: Interpreter Core files: schrodinger.py messages: 258757 nosy: japokorn priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Exception alias cause destruction of existing variable type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41683/schrodinger.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26174> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
