Bug description
# pylint: disable=missing-module-docstring, missing-function-docstring
def f():
try:
raise ValueError('inner')
except ValueError as e:
print(e)
try:
raise ValueError('outer')
except ValueError as e:
print(e)
# print(e) # NameError: name 'e' is not defined
Configuration

Command used

Pylint output
************* Module a
a.py:5:4: W0621: Redefining name 'e' from outer scope (line 10) (redefined-outer-name)
Expected behavior
Pylint must not complain about reusing variables bound to the exception in except clauses because they are in fact not defined outside the corresponding except clause (as can be seen by uncommenting the last line in the example).
