| It would be useful to get the actual exception in order to introspect its attributes. (See some potential uses in "test_dict") | ||

| You can't get the exception before it is even raised... | ||

| right, but it could return a wrapper object which receives the exception on __exit__. | ||

| Indeed. In that case, I am all for it. | ||

| Too clever by far. | ||

| I'd prefer for the magic context manager to be returned. | ||

| Why not the un-magic context manager, which has an exc_value attribute with the exception? | ||

| Just use the context manager and the exception is available as exc_value. | ||

| Thank you for this answer. The "exception" argument could be useful. But it does not work as documented on r77999... Btw, the documentation explains the behaviour I expect... | ||

| Fixed (with tests) in r78094. Thank you Michael. |
