PEP 678: Enriching Exceptions with Notes
Hi all,

I've written PEP 678, proposing the addition of a __note__ attribute
which can be used to enrich displayed exceptions. This is particularly
useful with ExceptionGroup, or where exception chaining is unsuitable, and
ensures that 'orphan' output is not produced if the annotated exception is
caught.

Link to the PEP: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0678/

*Please, redirect all discussions to:*
https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-678-enriching-exceptions-with-notes/13374

Thanks for your time, and to those who have already made (very helpful!)
comments!

Best wishes from just-moved-to San Francisco,
Zac Hatfield-Dodds

FYI - The Steering Council reviewed your updates and is **Accepting** the
latest iteration of *PEP 678: Enriching Exceptions with Notes*. :grin:

A short and sweet reply, we don't have more to add.
