Yeah, it just wrote the mp3's to my desktop, where I had the .py

Clarification.
The test py app is being invoked via a system function from a separate
app, and not stacktrace gets created. All I have is in the
/var/log/messages, an indication that the pyTest app generated an
error..
This is noted by the abrtd process, but I have no other data to go

That makes more sense to me now.

Hi.
Really basic question!!
Got a chunk of some test python, trying to figure out a quick/easy way
to capture all/any errors/exceptions that get thrown..
For the test process, I need to "ensure" that I capture any/all
potential errors..
-Could/Should I wrap the entire func in a try/catch when I

In general we prefer concrete questions and small

The ‘max’ function can be told how to determine the ordering of items,
