Sure, but I could deal with that, jerry-rigging the code as exceptions 
go by, finally reaching the exception I care about.

With all the problems, this would still be much better than nothing. As 
thing are, the only way to do this is guessing and turning particular 
try / except blocks off.

(a really nifty solution would be turning exceptions on or off per 
module / file basis).

IIRC Lua and/or C++ do have this ability, why not Python?

I smell material for a PEP.

Sure I can, but how do I get out of Python the info *what called 
particular class/instance*? That is, how do I know who's the caller?
