I have a type in my .NET Framework library with a static constructor that when I'm using from python.NET, apparently throws an exception. Ultimately, the exception manifests in the FieldObject.cs file for the python.net library in the tp_descr_get function where an attempt to call info.GetValue(null) raises a System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException. That exception is immediately caught and a call to Exceptions.SetError(Exceptions.TypeError, e.Message) is made. Unfortunately, all the valuable information in inner exceptions and stack trace are lost. Only e.Message is retained which always just says that an exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

It would be valuable if I could somehow get that information. Is there a way? Wouldn't it be valuable in general to be extracting all that information rather than just the message whenever handling an exception? Or at least to provide a means of doing it?

Thanks!
