This will prevent anything referenced by a local variable in the same function or by the traceback from being garbage collected. Since most functions don't need access to the traceback, the best solution is to use something like -\code{type, value = sys.exc_info()[:2]} +\code{exctype, value = sys.exc_info()[:2]} to extract only the exception type and value. If you do need the traceback, make sure to delete it after use (best done with a \keyword{try} ... \keyword{finally} statement) or to call -- 2.47.3
