With python 3.12, I run into:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.python/py-block.exp: check variable access
python print (block['nonexistent'])^M
Python Exception <class 'KeyError'>: 'nonexistent'^M
Error occurred in Python: 'nonexistent'^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-block.exp: check nonexistent variable
...
The problem is that that PyErr_Fetch returns a normalized exception, while the
test-case matches the output for an unnormalized exception.
With python 3.6, PyErr_Fetch returns an unnormalized exception, and the
test passes.
Fix this by:
- updating the test-case to match the output for a normalized exception, and
- lazily forcing normalized exceptions using PyErr_NormalizeException.
Tested on aarch64-linux.
