New submission from R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com>: Suppose you have an exception object acquired from somewhere. The exception is no longer active on the stack. Now you want to format the exception like format_exception would (to log it, perhaps). To do this you apparently need to call:
format_exception(type(exc), exc, exc.__traceback__) This seems redundant, so it would be nice to have a simpler call. Too bad the name format_exception is already taken. But, leaving that aside, the above is not documented in the traceback module. The last example shows the (type(exc), exc) call form for format_exception_only, but that's as close as it gets. ---------- messages: 159084 nosy: r.david.murray priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: traceback module docs should show how to print/fomat an exception object type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14655> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
