""" ultraTB.py -- Spice up your tracebacks! * ColorTB I've always found it a bit hard to visually parse tracebacks in Python. The ColorTB class is a solution to that problem. It colors the different parts of a traceback in a manner similar to what you would expect from a syntax-hilighting text editor. The colors are defined in the class "Colors" and the defaults should look good on a standard linux terminal. If you are using a different color scheme you will probably have to tweak the settings in Colors to make things legible for yourself. Not being knowledgeable about terminals and cross-platform issues, I can only assure that this will work on Linux. If you are able to make this work on a different platform I would be interested in hearing about it. Installation instructions for ColorTB: import sys,ultraTB sys.excepthook = ultraTB.ColorTB() * VerboseTB I've also included a port of Ka-Ping Yee's "cgitb.py" that produces all kinds of useful info when a traceback occurs. Ping originally had it spit out HTML and intended it for CGI programmers, but why should they have all the fun? I altered it to spit out colored text to the terminal. It's a bit overwhelming, but kind of neat, and maybe useful for long-running programs that you believe are bug-free. If a crash *does* occur in that type of program you want details. Give it a shot--you'll love it or you'll hate it. Installation instructions for ColorTB: import sys,ultraTB sys.excepthook = ultraTB.VerboseTB() * Cohabitating with LazyPython Either module will work in conjunction with my LazyPython hack if you install it *before* you install LazyPython. e.g.: import sys,LazyPython,ultraTB sys.excepthook = ultraTB.ColorTB() sys.excepthook = LazyPython.LazyPython() Note: Much of the code in this module was lifted verbatim from the standard library module "traceback.py" and Ka-Ping Yee's "cgitb.py".
