Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: No, the context must always be included unless explicitly suppressed. The interpreter can't reliably tell the difference between a raise statement in the current exception handler and one buried somewhere inside a nested function call. The whole point is to give developers a hint as to how to trigger the broken error handling code, which only works if the default behaviour is to provide the additional information.
Being able to suppress the context *is* a valid feature request, but one that will now need to wait until Python 3.3. In the meantime, sys.excepthook + the traceback module + PYTHONSTARTUP allows individual users to modify the interactive prompt to exhibit whatever exception display behaviour they like, and applications can do the same thing in their __main__module (likely via a context manager retrieved from a utility module). ---------- keywords: +after moratorium versions: +Python 3.3 -Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6210> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
