Can someone help me understand what's going on with reference counts during a #python exception in a #jupyter notebook?
# Cell 1
import sys
class Test:
def exception(self):
raise ValueError("test")
t = Test()
print(sys.getrefcount(t)) # -> 2
t.exception()
# Cell 2
print(sys.getrefcount(t)) # -> 4
Why does the reference count remain increased after an exception? Is there a way to avoid this?
