Hmmm, yes ! But I think I am not expressing clearly my concern :-)
So my problem is that "default exception" are badly designed in their
use of their args attribute.
I know it is possible to subclass Exception as every object and add
the attributes I want

Thank you guys for those good advices (and the very interesting
example of AST hacking).
However, this was an example of use for Exception.args. It does not
alleviate my concerns about the fact that the args attribute is poorly
designed for standard Exceptions.
It is as if the Exception design was

When I need to make sense of a python exception, I often need to parse the

What exactly are you doing with this info? (Every time I started to do
this, I found a better way
Hi,
When I need to make sense of a python exception, I often need to parse the
string exception in order to retrieve the data.
Example:
try:
print foo
except NameError, e:
print e.args
symbol = e.args[0][17:-16]
==> ("NameError: name 'foo' is not defined", )
or
try:
(4).foo
except Nam
