(I know this is old and closed but I've just run into the same thing with pwd.getpwnam in issue41767) KeyError: "getpwnam(): name not found: 'test'" would it be possible / make sense to extend `KeyError` with a named-only-argument which would preserve the raw string in this case? something like (yeah the name is probably not great, I haven't had time to think much about this) raise KeyError("getpwnam(): name not found 'test'", preserve_msg=True) ---------- nosy: +Anthony Sottile _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue2651> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
