So? Why would that mean I cannot add such an attribute
to derived classes?
It does not mean that. Try printing e.message and you should see 'msg'.
I believe what it does mean is the the special meaning of
exception.message (I have forgotten what it is) is gone in Python 3.
In Py3
class MyError(Exception):
def __init__(self, message):
Exception.__init__(self)
self.message = message
e = MyError('msg')
print(e.message)
# 'msg'
No warning any more.
Beyond odd. A bug?
No. A warning about a 'future' change in behavior.
