I tried to understand the issue. Not sure if I got it completly right. My interpretation would be, that authors did not want excepting-chaining when they included the previous exception text with format in the raised exception...
So from e would print e twice in this case, no? So probably, from None is the right choice when the original Error message is included in the raised exception? Not sure when one should raise a python error instead of a eg. gs.fatal(())_ ... Maybe @wenzeslaus has some thoughts on exception chaining?

I don't think exception chaining was used at all before. We're way more precise about our python usage now than when the python code started, so I'm pretty sure not everything was thoroughly though out before.

But for this case, maybe forgetting the .format(e) and using exception chaining for the details is in the same spririt?
The spirit (as I understand), was to have better error messages that what python was giving at the time. Now, especially in the latests versions, have been giving better error messages, so it's less frightening and more useful. I think there's value of having the real errors showed up (as we will be having that in the logs in the issues the users will file), and we might want to have all that extra context.

Oh, it's only a hint for an import error. So that's kinda easy and has no real implications for the logic of the code itself. It's only a nice-to-have hint.

So, I'm suggesting exception chaining without the format(e) here, it will give something similar to the example of python docs:

>>> def func():
...    raise ConnectionError
... 
>>> try:
...     func()
... except ConnectionError as exc:
...     raise RuntimeError('Failed to open database') from exc
... 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in func
ConnectionError

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 4, in <module>
RuntimeError: Failed to open database
>>> def func():
...    raise ConnectionError
... 
>>> try:
...     func()
... except ConnectionError as exc:
...     raise RuntimeError('Failed to open database') from exc
... 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in func
ConnectionError

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 4, in <module>
RuntimeError: Failed to open database
try:
    import matplotlib as mpl
    # The recommended way to use wx with mpl is with the WXAgg
    # backend.
    mpl.use("WXAgg")
    from matplotlib.figure import Figure
    from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg import (
        FigureCanvasWxAgg as FigCanvas,
        NavigationToolbar2WxAgg as NavigationToolbar,
    )
    import matplotlib.dates as mdates
except ImportError as e:
    raise ImportError(
        _(
            'The Temporal Plot Tool needs the "matplotlib" '
            "(python-matplotlib) package to be installed."
        )
    ) from e

giving (except for the line numbers and file names, I wrote it by hand):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in func
ImportError

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 4, in <module>
ImportError: The Temporal Plot Tool needs the "matplotlib" (python-matplotlib) package to be installed.

Both exception chaining and exception notes seem OK to me. However, I tend to think that all tracebacks also could be considered bugs, and when we catch an exception with try except, a simple (error-) message should be given that is addressed to the user and not to a developer who should be able to read traceback...
Maybe this discussion would make a good startingpoint to improve the exception-handling section in the style-guide?!?

Even then, that ticket is starting to get old, now everything should be in a pyproject.toml. For addons, I think each should be an individual "real" python package, each with a pyproject.toml, and could be fetched only for that subdirectory and work perfectly (and allow code tools to understand that structure).

Making addons python packages is also the way QGIS is going, I think. However, we also have C-addons and addons using R...

I didn't go with the TODO finally. Still working on the next PR, the unsafe fixes are a little longer to go through, and I have to do more manual tuning.

@neteler do you have any opions/thoughts on raised exceptions, exception chaining vs. GRASS messages (fatal/error)?

The code around here is weird, we shouldn't be using print for this there. (It was out of scope of the PR, so I wasn't changing everything, in order to be reviewable). But None makes sense, as OSError is only to know what that we couldn't find the module (or fails), it's not the real exception.

You can get PermissionError or FileNotFoundError which is likely a relevant info. The from e will preserve that, no? ...if yes, that would be an improvement. Semantic of GrassError is not clear to me and Error running: is more hiding than explaining what happened here. The print seems to assume some usage and tries to add convenience. ...yep, some deeper revision would be nice.

This one I'm not sure we'd want this, because there are multiple types of errors caught. So the traceback will be able to tell us which one is the direct cause of the others

Wouldn't the except ImportError: raise ImportError cases be best handled by add_note...raise? I would say yes, except that we need to wait for min Python on main version to be raised to 3.11 (PEP).

It's always possible to use the feature if it is available and let it go if not supported. Or do a fallback of some sort, that adds the text to the message instead.

This basically looks like a pointless try except, as the original Error is raised, so why using try-except here, if not the scripterror simplifies the error message presented to the user...

ScriptError seems to be the error which is raised by related functions, so I think is is for consistency.

With that said, OSError seems like a fine exception to be raised from project creation functions (which would remove the need for try-except).

Here is another (of several) examples, where the original Error messages is included in the error message that is raised at the end. So, I guess we also here could replace the formating with exception chaining?

The motivation for these Details: is to give user the original exception. This would be better done with chained exceptions in Python. However, the code was written with the expectation that the error will be read by a command line tool user without a traceback (or the original exception). Using from None preserves that idea, but I would be open to a solution which goes the path with less expectations about the potential usage.

Perhaps from e combined with the Details: has most information when doing print(...) and when just looking at the traceback.
