You are misreading the docs. print_exc() and format_exc() take args of [limit[, file]] not a traceback. > I want format_exe especially, since I don't want to print to stdout, I > want to provide the traceback in a popup dialog. Use format_exception() or pass a StringIO object as the file parameter to print_exc(). Kent -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
