New submission from Aaron Meurer: I'm trying to completely hide an exception from the traceback module. From reading the source, it looks like the only way to do this is to set __traceback__ to None (I can also set __suppress_context__ to True, but that only works if I have another exception higher up in the context chain).
However, this still prints the traceback itself, and the line for SyntaxErrors. Consider the attached test.py. It outputs ValueError During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 8, in <module> raise TypeError TypeError File "<string>", line 1 a b ^ SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 19, in <module> raise TypeError TypeError I suppose it should also not print the "During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:" part. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: test.py messages: 293837 nosy: Aaron.Meurer priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: traceback.TracebackException.format shouldn't format_exc_only() when __traceback__ is None Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46867/test.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30384> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
