[issue10986] traceback's rendering behavior while throwing custom exception

[Benjamin VENELLE]

New submission from Benjamin VENELLE <gu0sur20 at gmail.com>:

Hi,

>From few days, I've acknowledge when throwing an exception, the last traceback entry is always related to the raise statement. This is ok when the exception takes source from a non fail-safe code. But when an exception is raised due to a function's inputs sanity check (like an assertion error) the last traceback entry is non-sense. I've done a script to spot this behavior.

Is there a way to prevent last traceback rendering (not suppressing) while exception is displayed without explicit call to traceback.print_exception ? If not, it would be useful to have a boolean declared in Exception's classes which will allow last traceback entry rendering or not.
