Antti Haapala added the comment: I've got one idea about how to implement this, but it would require adding a new flag field to PyExc_AttributeError type.
This flag, if set, would tell that the AttributeError in question was raised in C descriptor code or under similar circumstances, and that the attribute name was not known, and thus it is OK for setattr/delattr and attribute lookups to append ": attributename" to the end of the message, then clear the flag; then all those places that raise AttributeError in __get__, __set__, __del__ would just need to set this flag. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27794> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
