[New-bugs-announce] [issue28135] assertRaises should return the exception in its simple form

[Facundo Batista]

New submission from Facundo Batista:

So, you could do:

  exc = self.assertRaises(ValueError, somefunc, someargs)

And then, explore "exc" as will. 

Yes, you can get the exception if you use assertRaises as a context manager, but that leads to more cumbersome code:

  with self.assertRaises(ValueError) as cm:
      somefunc(someargs)
      exc = cm.exception
