Hi, When I use sys.exc_info() on one of my custom exception classes, the "message"/value isn't returned. But it is when I use a built in exception.
Example: In [32]: class Test(Exception): ....: def __init__(self, x): ....: self.value = x ....: def __str__(self): ....: return repr(self.value) ....: ....: In [39]: try: ....: raise Test('mess') ....: except: ....: sys.exc_info() ....: ....: Out[39]: (<class '__main__.Test'>, Test(), <traceback object at 0xb7802e8c>) In [40]: try: ....: 1/0 ....: except: ....: sys.exc_info() ....: ....: Out[40]: (<type 'exceptions.ZeroDivisionError'>, ZeroDivisionError('integer division or modulo by zero',), <traceback object at 0xb78029dc>) Wy does the output of ZeroDivisionError appear in sys.exc_info() but for test it is just Test() (should be Test('mess') right??)
