Bug in linecache when raising exceptiongroup that contains `ZeroDivisionError` + other exception.

Bug report

Consider this code:

from asyncio import run, TaskGroup

async def bad_function():
 raise ZeroDivisionError
async def bad_function2():
 raise KeyError

async def main():
 try:
 async with TaskGroup() as tg:
 tg.create_task(bad_function())
 tg.create_task(bad_function2())

 except* ZeroDivisionError as e:
 breakpoint()


run(main())

Run it on Python 3.11 or 3.12:

One of the exceptions has to be a ZeroDivisionError for it to happen as far as I can see.

Can you produce a repro without asyncio? I suspect you can get this by just raising and catching two errors and then raise an ExceptionGroup. @iritkatriel

It's something to do with a breakpoint as the last thing in an except block.

Without asyncio:

excs = []
try:
 raise ZeroDivisionError
except Exception as e:
 excs.append(e)

try:
 raise KeyError
except Exception as e:
 excs.append(e)


def main():
 try:
 raise ExceptionGroup("eg", excs)
 except* ZeroDivisionError as e:
 breakpoint()
 # pass # <-- uncomment this and the problem goes away

main()

[iritkatriel]

Something to do with frame initialisation? @markshannon @brandtbucher

excs = []
try:
 raise ZeroDivisionError
except Exception as e:
 excs.append(e)

try:
 raise KeyError
except Exception as e:
 excs.append(e)

def main():
 try:
 raise ExceptionGroup("eg", excs)
 except* ZeroDivisionError as e:
 #sys._getframe() # <-- uncomment this and the problem goes away
 breakpoint()


main()

[brandtbucher]

I don't see the problem going away when I add the sys._getframe() call...

[brandtbucher]

This does reproduce the issue for me, though:

try:
 raise ExceptionGroup("eg", [KeyError(), ValueError()])
except* KeyError:
 breakpoint()
 # pass # <-- uncomment this and the problem goes away

[brandtbucher]

Note that this only reproduces if some exceptions are uncaught (the ValueError, in my above example... turning it into a KeyError makes the issue go away).

[iritkatriel]

I think it's some kind of heisenbug. I worked around the lineno being None in linecache.py:31, then it failed on None in another place later on, so I added a "print the frame" just before that line, and the problem went away.
