Is this the same as what CPython does?

Let's check:

test_ee.py

import unittest

class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):

    def _fn2(self):
        raise Exception("this shouldn't happend, but it did")

    def _fn(self):
        return self._fn2()


    def test_exception(self):
        self._fn()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()
       

micropython:

% micropython test_ee.py                                                                                                                                                                  :( 1 21-04-25 - 17:39:17

So this change makes it closer to behaviour of CPython.

Makes sense. Adding a newline would be nice though because raising multiple exceptions results in text which gets hard to read.

should I do any more changes or it's ok?

@stinos? Anyone?

I think this is ok, but it's not up to me to merge it :)
