[pypy-issue] [issue1755] sys.exc_clear() then re-"raise" raises at the wrong scope

[Kevin Modzelewski]

New submission from Kevin Modzelewski <kmod at dropbox.com>:

Doesn't seem very important but I thought I'd report it:



import sys

try:
    raise Exception()
except:
    pass
sys.exc_clear()

try:
    raise
except TypeError:
    # Should print this line:
    print "success"



The "raise" statement throws a TypeError as expected; in PyPy, though, this 
TypeError won't trigger the except-clause that follows it, and instead 
immediately propagates to the next frame up.  This only happens if there was a 
previously-thrown exception in this frame that then got cleared with 
sys.exc_clear().
