Re: [Python-ideas] Sublocal scoping at its simplest

1) Bind the caught exception to a sublocal 'e' 2) Execute the suite, with the reference to 'e' seeing the sublocal 3) Set the sublocal e to None 4) Unbind the sublocal e

At the unindent, the sublocal name will vanish, and the original 'e' will reappear.

That's a reasonable way to define how a sublocal scope might work. But as far as I can see, the debate is about whether sublocal scopes are a good idea in the first place. -- Greg
