symbolic_expression produces invalid traceback (TypeError)

edit

Hello all !

In the following code I consider

f=RealDistribution('chisquared',10).distribution_function

then I provoke and catch an AttributeError on f. No problems. Then I provoke and catch a TypeError with symbolic_expression(f). Once again no problem.

The fun part is that when I provoke the AttributeError and catch AttributeError and TypeError, the next TypeError will not be handled.

f=RealDistribution('chisquared',10).distribution_function

try:
    f.blah()
except AttributeError:
    pass

try:
    f=symbolic_expression(f)
except TypeError:
    print "ok"

print "Well, let's do that again"

try:
    f.blah()
except AttributeError,TypeError:
    pass

try:
    f=symbolic_expression(f)
except TypeError:
    print "ok"

ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (994, 0))

Any idea to understand or fix this funny behaviour ?

Have a good night Laurent
