I have some concerns from a security standpoint. For example, some
exception messages are definitely not meant to be displayed to end users
and may leak server implementation details. For example:
SuspiciousFileOperation(
'The joined path ({}) is located outside of the base path '
'component ({})'.format(final_path, base_path)
)
If we proceed with the idea, maybe a separate exception attribute for a
"user facing message" would be appropriate. Of course, if we pass the raw
exception to the error handlers, we cannot prevent programmers from writing
str(exception) (instead of using that custom attribute) and writing
insecure code. As to whether that concern should block this feature, I'm
not sure.
