I must have missed that. What are chained exceptions?
<SNIP> This was discussed on the list between Ping and I think Walter (could be wrong about Walter but I know Ping was involved). Should be in the Summary archive somewhere; just need to find it. =)
Found it. Raymond apparently instigated the thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-January/032492.html And it continued into the next month: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-February/032864.html And you even contributed to the discussion, Greg =) : http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-January/032513.html But the original terminology was "exception masking" so that may have been why this didn't ring any bells. For the impatient you can read the last 3 emails I think (especially the absolute last which was authored by Raymond) to get a summary of the ideas proposed. -Brett
