[issue5641] Local variables not freed when Exception raises in function called from cycle

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:

Well, it's the basic principle that an object is not destroyed until
there are no more references to it. The documented semantics I referred
to are that a variable assigned to in an "except X, Y" clause lives
beyond the scope of that clause.
