As the subject line says, as Guido's delegate, I'm accepting Benjamin's PEP 415 with the current reference implementation. I'm glad to see this PEP get accepted. I have just minor quibbles :). Can you or Benjamin improve the title of the PEP? It's already difficult enough to keep the mappings of PEP numbers to subjects in your head, even for the subset of PEPs you track. Having a PEP title that refers to another PEP number just makes things too confusing. How about: "Suppressing exception context via BaseException attribute" ? I also understand that PEP 415 is an elaboration of PEP 409, not a complete replacement, however it seems wrong that PEP 409 does not even reference PEP 415. Thus, while not a perfect solution, I suggest PEP 409 get a Superseded-By header that points to 415. 415 should get a Replaces header that points to 409. Then PEP 415 should get a section describing how the bulk of 409 is still valid, except for blah blah blah. (IOW, include the still valid parts of PEP 409 by reference.)
Helping others follow the bouncing ball in the historical record makes sense to me - I'll make these tweaks this evening.
Cheers, Nick.
