If I understand correctly what you are referring to, this is a feature. You're supposed to say:
try: return f() except: pass sys.exc_info()
i.e. the exc_info() must remain accessible.

Aha! Yup! Thanks.
Then, it is probably not a bug but a feature. Would it be ok then, if I write a function that exposes reset_exc_info to the user?
sys.exc_clear() # maybe?
Or a function which returns *and* clears the exc?
tup = sys.exc_info_reset()
Sure, as long as it is part of Stackless and not of Python proper. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
