I have reproduced this with Python 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6; I assume it's been present throughout the 3 series.
This is because print_exception_recursive in pythonrun.c keeps following the __cause__ chain, and here the exception is its own __cause__. It uses a set to ensure that it breaks cycles, but that doesn't help here because of the exception's incorrect __hash__ method. |
