Bug report

Python 3.12.0a7 (at least as of commit d65ed69) can fail to catch exceptions when an iterator is involved. The following code works on Python 3.11 but the ValueError is uncaught on Python 3.12:

#!/usr/bin/env python def do_work(): yield raise ValueError() def main(): try: for _ in do_work(): if True is False: return except ValueError: pass if __name__ == '__main__': main()

With this code in repro.py the following traceback is shown on Python 3.12:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "//repro.py", line 18, in <module> main() File "//repro.py", line 12, in main return File "//repro.py", line 5, in do_work raise ValueError() ValueError 

No error or output occurs under Python 3.11.
