New submission from Greg Hewgill <g...@hewgill.com>: Based on a short discussion on python-dev: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-November/094306.html
the "Warning" box in the documentation for sys.exc_info needs to be updated in light of PEP 3134, and perhaps moved elsewhere since the circular reference problem can now occur whether or not the traceback returned by sys.exc_info is used. It might also be worth mentioning that the way to break the circular reference, if necessary, is to explicitly set the __traceback__ member of the handled exception to None. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 95393 nosy: georg.brandl, ghewgill severity: normal status: open title: Doc for sys.exc_info has warning that is no longer valid type: behavior versions: Python 3.0, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7340> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
