[New-bugs-announce] [issue7853] on __exit__(), exc_value does not contain the exception.

[Florent Xicluna]

New submission from Florent Xicluna <laxyf at yahoo.fr>:

On __exit__(), the 3rd argument "exc_value" should contain the instance of the exception.

But in most cases, it contains only the string representation of the exception.

See attached test case.
Same behavior for KeyError, AttributeError, RuntimeError, ...
