When an exception is created in order to be raised, it is usually initialized with information that describes the error that has occurred. There are cases where it is useful to add information after the exception was caught.

The standard traceback rendering includes all notes, in the order they were added, after the exception. >>> try: ... raise TypeError('bad type') ... except Exception as e: ... e.add_note('Add some information') ... e.add_note('Add some more information') ... raise ...
