Sorry for the soliloquy, but what I am really using is the following so
that the re-raised excpetion has the same type:
def PoliteException(e):
class PoliteException(e.__class__):
def __init__(self, e):
self._e = e
def __getattr__(self, name):
return getattr(self._e, name)
def __str__(self):
if isinstance(self._e, PoliteException):
return str(self._e)
else:
return '\n%s: %s, I am sorry!' % (
self._e.__class__.__name__, str(self._e))
return PoliteException(e)
try:
unicode('\xe4')
except Exception, e:
raise PoliteException(e)
