From efae8c499f522547b9e73afde8821b0a1b1bf015 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amaury Forgeot d'Arc Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:08:09 +0000 Subject: #4383: UnboundLocalError when IDLE cannot connect to its subprocess. Python 3.0 clears the exception variable upon exit of the "except:" clause, and the displaying code fails miserably.
