Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: Assume the case of e = MyException() (note: 0 args) with a __str__ that returns a default message. Now, if the message is ascii, str(e) works and the user see the default message but unicode(e) returns a not-so-useful empty string. On the other hand, if __str__ returns a non-ascii string, then it's wrong in the first place, because str(e) will fail and returning an empty string with unicode(e) is not going to help.
