Never. I don't even try.

I still think this is a good idea. Not for debugging though.

For UI (and error logs if your requirements include writing them in the
user language), it could simplify all the
user-facing-unexpected-error-reporting into an except hook, or a
try..except high up in your call stack.

It would be a pretty big step towards RAD. But it had to be made optional
somehow.

Maybe using errno and existing exception messages together with gettext?
