In a stack trace, is it possible to somehow get the arguments with
which each function was called?

So for example, if function `foo` in module `bar` was called with
arguments `(1, [2])` when it raised an exception, then instead of:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "bar.py", line 123, in foo
        build_rpms()

The stack trace would read:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "bar.py", line 123, in foo(1, [2])
        build_rpms()

This would save a lot of debugging time!

The cgitb module does exactly that; some third-party modules offer similar functionality, but I don't remember any names.
Despite its name, cgitb works with any script.

Given this test script:

# begin test_traceback.py
import cgitb
cgitb.enable(format="text")

spam = []

def a(x, y):
  "This is function a"
  z = x+y
  return b(z)


def b(z, n=3):
  """This is function b.

  Its docstring is longer."""

  if n!=3:
    just(to_consume_space)

  w = c(foo=z*n)

  return w


def c(foo=0, bar=1):
  "This is function c"
  baz = foo+bar
  spam.somenamethatdoesnotexist(foo+bar)
  anotherglobal("thatdoesnotexisteither")

a(10, 20)
# end test_traceback.py

the output is:


AttributeError
