[Stackless] A question about exceptions

[Kristján V. Jónsson]

Here is a quick question for you, before I make a fool of my self on the more mainstream Python lists..
 
Why is the exception state kept around with a frame after it is handled?  Hence the need for sys.exc_clear()
 
Is this an implementation issue or a language design feature?
 
Cheers,
 
Kristján
