Bug ID: 7817
Summary: Pyzor.pm - Show traceback in log?
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Plugins

Target Milestone: Undefined
Currently, when pyzor produces a python exception, this is detected by Pyzor.pm
and the log shows "pyzor: internal error, python traceback seen in response",
but without logging the actual traceback or response. This makes it hard to
debug such a backtrace. It seems you can enable debug output to get the full
response, but that would (I think) log *all* pyzor responses and a lot of other
SA debug output too (unless it is possible to enable debug only for Pyzor, have
not checked).
Please consider improving this. Possible solutions I can imagine, in decreasing
order of (my) preference:
1. When a stacktrace is detected, print the entire response, including the
stacktrace.
2. If 1. is considered too verbose, maybe add a specif option to enable
printing full responses on backtraces, and refer to that option in the default
concise error message.
3. As a better-than-nothing option, point out that enabling debug output will
print the stacktrace itself, ideally referring to some documentation about
this.
I've observed this behavior with 3.4.2 from Debian stable, but it looks like it
is unchanged in SVN trunk:
