Prime solver giving composite numbers

primes=[2]
a=3
b=1
while True:
try:
if a%primes[b]==0:
a+=2
else:
b+=1
except IndexError:
primes.append(a)
print a
a+=2
b=1
I try to run this code to give me a list of primes, but it keeps spitting out numbers like 27,95, and other, larger composite numbers. The code runs and there are no syntax errors preventing it from doing so, but it will give me incorrect values, and I don't know why. Please let me know if you find any errors or if it is a problem with Python3.
