2.10 Concealing an exception root cause
Exceptions contain a root cause. The default behavior of internally raised exceptions is to use an implicit __context__ attribute to include the root cause of an exception. In some cases, we may want to deemphasize the root cause because it’s misleading or unhelpful for debugging.
This technique is almost always paired with an application or library that defines a unique exception. The idea is to show the unique exception without the clutter of an irrelevant exception from outside the application or library.
