Your original post talked about 2.7; when you say "master branch", do
you mean that you tested this against 3.x?

I've opened a thread on python-ideas to talk about adding more info to
the exception object. Feel free to come along and join the discussion;
patches would ultimately want to be on the bug tracker (or, better
still, a GitHub pull request), but you'll also want to know whether
people even think this is a good idea, and the mailing list is great
for that
