Zachary Ware added the comment:
I don't believe this is a bug.
1) try/except does not introduce a new scope
2) 'except E as N' is just name assignment
3) except clauses are documented to always delete the exception alias at the
end of the except block[0]. The example in the docs could be clarified to show
that
except E as N:
foo
is really more like
except E:
N = sys.exc_info()[1]
try:
foo
finally:
del N
Note that 'as' assignment with the 'with' statement also overrides a local
variable of the same name. The simplest way to avoid this issue is to use a
different name for the exception alias.
