Sorry, my fault.  It prints 'a' without __metaclass__ = type,
but prints 'b' with the metaclass.  The output should be the
same in both cases.

The problematic case is:

__metaclass__ = type 
class x: 
    pass 
class y(x): 
    pass 
try: 
    raise y 
except y: 
    print "a" 
except: 
    print "b" 

the above code prints 'b' in 2.x
