But that's because you already know what it's supposed to convey. The average user doesn't, and only sees "unraisable". > The relevant C API function is just called "PyErr_WriteUnraisable", not > "PyErr_WriteUnraisableButThatIsTechnicallyWrongSinceItWasAlreadyRaisedAndWeJustCaughtItAndAreNowReportingItToStdErr". "PyErr_WriteUnraisable" is right at the point where it used: I can't raise that exception at this point, therefore I call PyErr_WriteUnraisable. However, from the point of view of the user reading the traceback, the exception *was* raised.
