我使用的一个方便的方法是使用类属性作为详细信息的存储，因为类属性可以从类对象和类实例中访问:

class CustomError(Exception):
    def __init__(self, details: Dict):
        self.details = details

然后在代码中:

raise CustomError({'data': 5})

当捕获错误时:

except CustomError as e:
    # Do whatever you want with the exception instance
    print(e.details)

也许

except Exception as e:
    raise IOError(e.message + 'happens at %s'%arg1)

假设你不想或不能修改foo()，你可以这样做:

try:
    raise IOError('stuff')
except Exception as e:
    if len(e.args) >= 1:
        e.args = (e.args[0] + ' happens',) + e.args[1:]
    raise

这确实是在Python 3中解决问题的唯一解决方案，而不会出现丑陋而令人困惑的“在处理上述异常期间，发生了另一个异常”消息。

如果要将重新提升的行添加到堆栈跟踪中，则应该写入raise e而不是raise。

与之前的答案不同，这适用于非常糟糕的__str__异常。 但是，它确实修改了类型，以便剔除无用的__str__实现。

我仍然希望找到一个不修改类型的额外改进。

from contextlib import contextmanager
@contextmanager
def helpful_info():
    try:
        yield
    except Exception as e:
        class CloneException(Exception): pass
        CloneException.__name__ = type(e).__name__
        CloneException.__module___ = type(e).__module__
        helpful_message = '%s\n\nhelpful info!' % e
        import sys
        raise CloneException, helpful_message, sys.exc_traceback


class BadException(Exception):
    def __str__(self):
        return 'wat.'

with helpful_info():
    raise BadException('fooooo')

原始的回溯和类型(名称)被保留。

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "re_raise.py", line 20, in <module>
    raise BadException('fooooo')
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/contextlib.py", line 34, in __exit__
    self.gen.throw(type, value, traceback)
  File "re_raise.py", line 5, in helpful_info
    yield
  File "re_raise.py", line 20, in <module>
    raise BadException('fooooo')
__main__.BadException: wat.

helpful info!

到目前为止，我对所有给出的答案都不满意。他们还是太啰嗦了。在代码和消息输出中。

所有我想要的是stacktrace指向源异常，没有异常之间的东西，所以没有创建新的异常，只是重新提升原始与所有相关的堆栈帧状态在它，导致那里。

史蒂夫·霍华德给出了一个很好的答案，我想扩展一下，不，是简化一下……仅适用于python 3。

except Exception as e:
    e.args = ("Some failure state", *e.args)
    raise

唯一的新东西是参数展开/解包，这使得它对我来说足够小和容易使用。

试一试:

foo = None

try:
    try:
        state = "bar"
        foo.append(state)

    except Exception as e:
        e.args = ("Appending '"+state+"' failed", *e.args)
        raise

    print(foo[0]) # would raise too

except Exception as e:
    e.args = ("print(foo) failed: " + str(foo), *e.args)
    raise

这将给你:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 6, in <module>
    foo.append(state)
AttributeError: ('print(foo) failed: None', "Appending 'bar' failed", "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'append'")

简单的漂亮图案可以是这样的

print("\n".join( "-"*i+" "+j for i,j in enumerate(e.args)))

我将提供一段我经常使用的代码片段，每当我想向异常添加额外信息时。我在Python 2.7和3.6中都可以工作。

import sys
import traceback

try:
    a = 1
    b = 1j

    # The line below raises an exception because
    # we cannot compare int to complex.
    m = max(a, b)  

except Exception as ex:
    # I create my  informational message for debugging:
    msg = "a=%r, b=%r" % (a, b)

    # Gather the information from the original exception:
    exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback = sys.exc_info()

    # Format the original exception for a nice printout:
    traceback_string = ''.join(traceback.format_exception(
        exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback))

    # Re-raise a new exception of the same class as the original one, 
    # using my custom message and the original traceback:
    raise type(ex)("%s\n\nORIGINAL TRACEBACK:\n\n%s\n" % (msg, traceback_string))

上面的代码产生如下输出:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-09b74752c60d> in <module>()
     14     raise type(ex)(
     15         "%s\n\nORIGINAL TRACEBACK:\n\n%s\n" %
---> 16         (msg, traceback_string))

TypeError: a=1, b=1j

ORIGINAL TRACEBACK:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<ipython-input-6-09b74752c60d>", line 7, in <module>
    m = max(a, b)  # Cannot compare int to complex
TypeError: no ordering relation is defined for complex numbers

我知道这与问题中提供的例子有一点偏差，但我希望有人觉得它有用。
