[New-bugs-announce] [issue28315] incorrect "in ?" output in 'divide' example at "Defining Clean-up Actions" in tutorial

[Viorel Tabara]

New submission from Viorel Tabara:

At https://docs.python.org/3.5/tutorial/errors.html#defining-clean-up-actions 
when I'm running the "divide('2', '1')" example I get:

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

instead of the documentation output of:

   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? 

The same message is included with the 2.7 tutorial.

To wit:

Nice tutorial by the way ;) Thanks!
