[Python-Dev] PEP 356: python.org/sf/1515343 resolution

[Jim Jewett]

python.org/sf/1515343 fixes a regression against 2.4, which masks
exceptions, and should therefore go in before release.  The tracker
has a patch to the test cases, and two alternative fixes.  (One
minimal, the other less ugly.)

Since this only affects string exceptions with a value, it might be
acceptable to just say "won't ever fix", but then it should be added
to the upgrade news.
