I generally find exception objects are really just boilerplate heavy objects
masking what I really want them to be, function calls:
class MySpecialException(Exception):
def __init__(self, some, variables, i, am, tracking):
self.some = some
...
...
try:
if some_test_that_fails(variables):
raise MySpecialException(a, b, c, d, e, f)
except MySpecialException as e:
logger.warning(f"BAD THING {e.a} HAPPENED!")
if not handle_it(e.a, e.b, e.c, e.f):
raise
...
Instead of needing a whole new class definition, wouldn't it be nice to just
have something like:
....
#notice there isn't a boilerplate custom class created!
try:
if some_test_that_fails(variables):
#I still have a base exception to fall back on for handlers that don't know
my special exception
raise Exception.my_special_exception(a, b, c, d, e, f)
except Exception.my_special_excpetion(a:int, b:str, d, e, f):
logger.warning(f"BAD THING {a} HAPPENED!")
if not handle_it(a, b, c, f):
raise
The core idea here is that we are just passing control, so why make exceptions
an exception to how control is normally passed, via functions. Just a thought.
