I agree. clear is in fact better than reset, since there is no exception resetted to something, but it is cleared away. >>I ask only because I usually submit bug fixes and minor changes, and am not >>familar enough with this part of the Python development culture. Great, Kevin, that you are implementing this. I was already starting, but this is fine, if I can save some time.

I've uploaded a patch to SF:

It turns out that ceval.c:reset_exc_info was a red herring and did not do what we wanted. Luckily, the correct behavior is fairly trivial (although the interaction between set_exc_info and reset_exc_info had me seeing cross-eyed for a few minutes).
