Description
Bug report
In Python 3.11, raising a frozen dataclass as an exception inside a contextlib.contextmanager context will raise a dataclasses.FrozenInstanceError exception. This issue does not occur in Python 3.10.
This is a result of the changes made in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/92202
Reproducer
import contextlib
import dataclasses
@dataclasses.dataclass(frozen=True)
class Notice(Exception):
pass
@contextlib.contextmanager
def demo():
yield
try:
with demo():
raise Notice()
except Notice:
pass
Expected Result
$ python3.10 ./repro.py
Actual Result
$ python3.11 ./repro.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.11/contextlib.py", line 155, in __exit__
self.gen.throw(typ, value, traceback)
File "/home/mclay/code/mattclay/contextlib-repro/./repro.py", line 12, in demo
yield
File "/home/mclay/code/mattclay/contextlib-repro/./repro.py", line 17, in <module>
raise Notice()
Notice
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Research direction
Start with contextlib.py, especially the contextmanager exit path shown in the traceback, and reproduce the failure with the supplied frozen dataclass exception example on Python 3.11. Done means the exception can be handled through the context manager without raising FrozenInstanceError while preserving the expected behavior shown by Python 3.10.
