Python traceback Functions
EditRocket provides the following information on traceback functions in the Python source code builder.
extract_stack([f[, limit]]) - Extract the raw traceback from the current stack frame.
extract_tb(traceback[, limit]) - Return a list of up to limit ``pre-processed'' stack trace entries extracted from the traceback object traceback.
format_exc([limit]) - This is like print_exc(limit) but returns a string instead of printing to a file.
format_exception(type, value, tb[, limit]) - Format a stack trace and the exception information.
format_exception_only(type, value) - Format the exception part of a traceback.
format_list(list) - Given a list of tuples as returned by extract_tb() or extract_stack(), return a list of strings ready for printing.
format_stack([f[, limit]]) - A shorthand for format_list(extract_stack(f, limit)).
format_tb(tb[, limit]) - A shorthand for format_list(extract_tb(tb, limit)).
print_exc([limit[, file]]) - This is a shorthand for print_exception(sys.
print_exception(type, value, traceback[, limit[, file]]) - Print exception information and up to limit stack trace entries from traceback to file.
print_last([limit[, file]]) - This is a shorthand for print_exception(sys.
print_stack([f[, limit[, file]]]) - This function prints a stack trace from its invocation point.
print_tb(traceback[, limit[, file]]) - Print up to limit stack trace entries from traceback.
tb_lineno(tb) - This function returns the current line number set in the traceback object.
