Correction for issue1265 (pdb bug with "with" statement). When an unfinished generator-iterator is garbage collected, PyEval_EvalFrameEx is called with a GeneratorExit exception set. This leads to funny results if the sys.settrace function itself makes use of generators. A visible effect is that the settrace function is reset to None. Another is that the eventual "finally" block of the generator is not called. It is necessary to save/restore the exception around the call to the trace function. This happens a lot with py3k: isinstance() of an ABCMeta instance runs def __instancecheck__(cls, instance): """Override for isinstance(instance, cls).""" return any(cls.__subclasscheck__(c) for c in {instance.__class__, type(instance)}) which lets an opened generator expression each time it returns True. Seems a backport candidate, even if the case is less frequent in 2.5.

	x = fabs(x);
	y = fabs(y);
	if (x < y) {
		double temp = x;
		x = y;
		y = temp;
	}
	if (x == 0.)
		return 0.;
	else {
		yx = y/x;
		return x*sqrt(1.+yx*yx);
	}
}
