While you're here could you change 'exc' and 'exc2' to 'type' and 'type2' (or 'typ' and 'typ2')? It drives me nuts that we mix "exc[exption]" and "typ[e]" for the same concept (this must date back to Python 1 when the value was not an exception instance and the exception could be any object).

val2 = exc_info->exc_value;
tb2 = exc_info->exc_traceback;
#ifdef Py_DEBUG
PyObject *exc2_before = exc2;
PyObject *val2_before = val2;
PyObject *tb2_before = tb2;
#endif
_PyErr_NormalizeException(tstate, &exc2, &val2, &tb2);
#ifdef Py_DEBUG
/* exc_info should already be normalized */
assert(exc2 == exc2_before);
assert(val2 == val2_before);
assert(tb2 == tb2_before);
#endif
if (tb2 != NULL) {
PyException_SetTraceback(val2, tb2);
}
