I have some (library) code where an exception is caught and, since the underlying cause is rather obscure, a different exception is raised that more clearly explains the issue to the caller.
However, when printed via format_exc(), this new exception still has the old exception attached via the mechanism described at http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3134/ (this is Python 3.0). Is there any simple way to stop this? It's rather annoying and misleading, as it exposes a lot of internal detail that the caller does not understand or want. This is marked as an "open issue" in the PEP described above. Thanks, Andrew -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
