[issue12029] Catching virtual subclasses in except clauses

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

"I remembered we already run arbitrary code at roughly this point in the eval loop, as we have to invoke __iter__ to get the exceptions to check when an iterable is used in except clause."

Are you sure?  IIRC the except clause only accept exceptions and tuples of exceptions, not iterators.
