[New-bugs-announce] [issue20500] assertion failed when passing an exception object to sys.exit

[Xavier de Gaye]

New submission from Xavier de Gaye:

The following code crashes python with:

python: Objects/object.c:512: PyObject_Str: Assertion `!PyErr_Occurred()' failed.

on the tip of the default branch, but not on python 3.3.3.


import sys

error = None
try:
    raise ValueError('some text')
except ValueError as err:
    error = err

if error:
    sys.exit(error)
