Nested try..except statements with yields can loose reference to the current exception.

The following code:

    class MainError(Exception):
        pass

    class SubError(Exception):
        pass

    def main():
        try:
            raise MainError()
        except MainError:
            try:
                yield
            except SubError:
                print('got SubError')
            raise

    coro = main()
    coro.send(None)
    coro.throw(SubError())

prints:

    got SubError
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "t.py", line 19, in <module>
        coro.throw(SubError())
      File "t.py", line 15, in main
        raise
    RuntimeError: No active exception to reraise
