New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com>:
What do you think it is necessary to switch from implicit chaining to explicit chaining? If anyone is currently relying on __context__ vs __cause__, this patch will break their code. In a traceback, the only visible difference is in the text between the exceptions: - During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: + The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: While we haven't been 100% consistent about this, the norm has been to either use implicit chaining or use "from None" to turn-off chaining. The "from e" approach can be used to alter the explicit chain, perhaps skipping over one or more exceptions, but that isn't the case here. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39717> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
