Is this not allowed?

Allowed, but probably in error ... no AttributeError will get through to the except * unless it happened inside the except AttributeError handler. Did you mean:
If obj.func() raises an ExceptionGroup that contains AttributeError then "except AttributeError" doesn't catch it. So it will get through.
And I, for one, would expect that. And _want_ that: I want the code to do what I said, not have some magic which silently/invisibly intercepts ExceptionGroups which contain something buried deep in their subgroup tree. We already allow "deep" exceptions out, to be caught at an arbitrary outer call stack level. I don't see why ExceptionGroups should be any different. I certainly do not want ExceptionGroup([AttributeError]) conflated with AttributeError. That fills me with horror. Cheers, Cameron Simpson <cs@cskk.id.au>
