Why are there two separate bytecode blocks for the "raise Exception"? I'd have thought that the double condition would still be evaluated as one thing, or at least that the jump destinations for both the early-abort and the main evaluation should be the same. Looks like in 3.8 it compiles more like the way you expected. I didn't try 3.9, but it looks like a recent change to te compiler. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
