Hm, I always found it useful to just do

class MyCustomError(Exception): pass and give it arbitrary arguments to it without writing init method stuff that I can access from outside.

Maybe

class Exception(object):

 def __init__(self, msg = None, **kwds):
   self.msg = msg
   self.__dict__.update(kwds)

Then you'd have to pass your extra args as keyword args, but you could still avoid having an init if you wanted.
