[issue7340] Doc for sys.exc_info has warning that is no longer valid
|
|
New submission from Greg Hewgill <greg [at] hewgill>:
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.
