Instead, we've defined our own exception + classes within the module that mirror and emulate the ``webob.exc`` + exception response objects almost entirely. We do this in order to a) + allow the exception responses to subclass ``pyramid.response.Response``, + which speeds up response generation slightly due to the way the Pyramid + router works, b) allows us to provide alternate __call__ logic which also + speeds up response generation, c) allows the exception classes to provide + for the proper value of ``self.RequestClass`` (pyramid.request.Request), d) + allows us freedom from having to think about backwards compatibility code + present in ``webob.exc`` having to do with Python 2.4, which we no longer + support, e) We change the behavior of two classes (HTTPNotFound and + HTTPForbidden) in the module so that they can be used internally for + notfound and forbidden exceptions, f) allows us to influence the docstrings + of the exception classes to provide Pyramid-specific documentation, and g) + allows us to silence a stupid deprecation warning under Python 2.6 when the + response objects are used as exceptions (related to ``self.message``). + Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- |
