Comment(by hivert):

 > So, it is nearly eight times slower than using `raise_attribute_error`
 in unpatched sage, and about fifty times slower than using
 `AttributeErrorMessage`, which was only 3 seconds for `10^7` (not `10^6`)
 iterations, and which ''does'' preserve the old error messages.

 As I already said: [It] is pure Python so that probably a little
 Cythonizing is needed if it fits you needs.

 Plus compared to your code I have have to pay the extra cost of calling
 the operator {{{__mod__}}} for {{{%}}} when binding the string to its
 extra args. If you want speed from cython, it would be better to have this
 extra binding in a non standard def method so that you can bypass the call
 to python interpreter. Do you accept a little slow down (calling %) as a
 trade-off to avoid code and feature duplication ?
