It can be deprecated for BaseException without it being deprecated for your
exception. You'll need to define a property that overrides the property in
BaseException; something like this in Python (not tested):
class MyException(Exception):
_message = None
@apply
def message():
def get(self):
return self._message
def set(self, value):
self._message = value
return property(get, set)
I think your use case is entirely reasonable, and can be handled readily.
