Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs:
TypeError: print_exception(): Exception expected for value, str found



might b related to Issue5089, so included those ppl to nosy.  this bug is subtle.  unit tests which explicitly 'raise' exceptions will not b caught, e.g. this will raise properly:

@exit.register
def foo(): raise ZeroDivisionError()
