Trio is an example of a library that has made use of this technique in its Language, simply by creating a container exception type. Grouping several exceptions together can be done without changes to the The user to catch their own exceptions by their types. Here, it would be possible for _exit_ to raise an ExceptionGroupĬontaining its own errors along with the user’s errors, and this would allow Sidestepping the multiple exception problem. The issue was resolved by making the cleanup code ignore errors, thus While the user’s exception was chained as the context of theĬleanup error, it was not caught by the user’s except clause Had an issue where an exception raised during cleanup in _exit_Įffectively masked an exception that the user’s code raised inside the context Tempfile.TemporaryDirectory context manager Which are due to the loss of context/cause information (communicatedīy Hypothesis Core Developer Zac Hatfield-Dodds). The difficulties with debugging that are mentioned in the link above, and )Īn ExceptionGroup mechanism as we are proposing here can resolve some of (optionally) reports all of them (see the Hypothesis documentation. Process it may find variations that generate different errors, and The Hypothesis library performsĪutomatic bug reduction (simplifying code that demonstrates a bug). Multiple errors in a complex calculation.This can be improved withĮxceptionGroups, as explained in this issue by pytest developer Ran Benita If more than one of these finalizers raises anĮxception, only the first is reported to the user. Similarly, the pytest library allows users to register finalizers whichĪre executed at teardown. To reraise all of them together (see atexit documentation. Them raise exceptions, only the last one is reraised, but it would be better

Python’s atexit.register() functionĪllows users to register functions that are called on system exit. It is an open issue how to aggregate these errors, particularly when Library’s socket.create_connection function may attempt to connect toĭifferent addresses, and if all attempts fail it needs to report that to the
