Serhiy: I'm not sure if it's the language barrier, but that came across kind of mean. It's not that I can do whatever I want as release manager, but that I have the say in whether something is a "bug fix" or a "new feature", which is how we decide whether or not something is allowed into Python after feature freeze.
This issue has been on my radar for a while (originally #16074). But I wasn't paying strong attention to it. Nobody in that issue came up with a solution I liked. Finally when you posted your patch I said "ugh, can't we do better" and had to think about it before I realized we should just display both filenames. If somebody had posted a patch with that two months ago I would have happily accepted it and we wouldn't be having this conversation now.
Vajrasky: My goal is that Python is nicer to use than PHP or Perl. And it's more than a month before 3.4 final is scheduled to be released. This patch is a pretty mechanical change--create new function, accept extra parameter, make the tuple one entry longer. I don't expect it to be destabilizing.
However, I *was* hoping that one of the original authors of the code in question would come forth and say a) whether or not they think it's a good idea in general, and b) if they think the specific approach is fine.
The patch is a bit stalled because of higher-priority Argument Clinic changes. I could post a partial patch if someone wanted to pick it up and finish it.
