Don’t show Python raise-line in the exception stack

by

Due warning: modifying the behaviour of the interpreter is generally frowned upon. And in any case, seeing exactly where an error was raised may be helpful in debugging, especially if a function can raise an error for several different reasons.

If you use the traceback module, and replace sys.excepthook with a custom function, it’s probably possible to do this. But making the change will affect error display for the entire program, not just your module, so is probably not recommended.

You could also look at putting code in try/except blocks, then modifying the error and re-raising it. But your time is probably better spent making unexpected errors unlikely, and writing informative error messages for those that could arise.
