[New-bugs-announce] [issue39164] PyErr_GetExcInfo does not allow to retrieve for an arbitrary thread

[Julien Danjou]

New submission from Julien Danjou <julien at danjou.info>:

PyErr_GetExcInfo does not allow to retrieve exception information for an arbitrary thread. As it calls `_PyThreadState_GET` itself, it's impossible to get exception information for a different thread.
