Hi All,

Am I right in thinking this is a bug:

class MyContextManager:

    def __enter__(self):
        pass

    def __exit__(self,t,e,tb):
        print type(t),t
        print type(e),e


with MyContextManager():
   import foo.bar.baz

...when executed, gives me:

<type 'type'> <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>
<type 'str'> No module named foo.bar.baz

Why is 'e' ending up as a string rather than the ImportError object?

This is with Python 2.6.5 if that makes a difference...

I don't have an answer, just some more examples across different versions/exceptions:

<code>
class MyContextManager:
    def __enter__(self):
        pass
    def __exit__(self,t,e,tb):
        print ('--------')
        print (type(t),t)
        print (type(e),e)
        return True

with MyContextManager():
   import foo.bar.baz
with MyContextManager():
   1/0
with MyContextManager():
   not_here()
</code>

As an aside, does anyone know why the 2.x versions are printing the [0] as the first line? 3.1 does not.
