Łukasz Langa added the comment:
No, the suggestion is to only adopt the first part of the patch from 2010,
which is to revert KeyError to behave like LookupError again:
>>> print(LookupError('key'))
key
>>> print(KeyError('key'), 'now')
'key' now
>>> print(KeyError('key'), 'in 3.6')
key in 3.6
In other words, there is no descriptive message while stringifying KeyError.
Having an API with two arguments was disruptive because it moved the key from
e.args[0] to e.args[1].
Raymond, would it be acceptable to create a two-argument form where the
*second* argument is the message? That way we could make descriptive error
messages for dicts, sets, etc. possible. In this world:
>>> print(KeyError('key', 'key {!r} not found in dict'), 'in 3.6')
key 'key' not found in dict in 3.6
Do you think any code depends on `str(e) == str(e.args[0])`?
