[New-bugs-announce] [issue12643] code.InteractiveConsole ignores sys.excepthook

[aliles]

New submission from aliles <aaron.iles at gmail.com>:

code.InteractiveConsole doesn't match the CPython interactive interpreter with respect to allowing sys.excepthook to handle exceptions. Unlike the interactive interpreter, replacing sys.excepthook with an alternate function will not change exception handling behaviour from inside a code.InteractiveConole

This affects downstream interpreters such as PyPy.
