Baiscally just an Exception class that retains traceback information

Project description

python2_wrapped__exception

This is basically an Exception class that would be used to wrap raised Exceptions.

The common use case is when one wants to present a custom exception class to a downstream caller.

One would typically do this:


try:
    doStuffTHatTHrowsAnException()
except Exception as e:
    raise MyCustomException(e.message)

However, the above code causes the execution stack at the time of the first exception to be lost.

The WrappedException allows us to do this:


try:
    doStuffTHatTHrowsAnException()
except Exception:
    WrappedException.throw()

Callers can now catch "WrappedException" and still have the original execution stack.

Alternatively, they can do this:


try:
    doStuffTHatTHrowsAnException()
except Exception as e:
    WrappedException(e.message, another_parameter, etc.).throw()

As WrappedException would typically be subclassed with a "business" exception.
