This is to avoid any confusion where a response was generated elsewhere in the pipeline and not in direct relation to the original exception. If anyone upstream wants to catch and render responses for exceptions they should set ``request.exception`` and ``request.exc_info`` themselves to indicate the exception that was squashed when generating the response. + + Similar behavior occurs with :meth:`pyramid.request.Request.invoke_exception_view` in which the exception properties are set to reflect the exception if a response is successfully generated by the method. + + This is a very minor incompatibility. Most tweens right now would give priority to the raised exception and ignore ``request.exception``. This change just improves and clarifies that bookkeeping by trying to be more clear about the relationship between the response and its squashed exception.
