[Chicago] How to see the whole exception message in pdb

[Brian Ray]

My first suggestion is debug with ipython.  I think you can insert
breakpoints like: import ipdb; ipdb,set_trace(); after you pip install
ipdb. That will make the whole world pretty and colorful.

Second, I have there are so many ways to print a stack in Python @@ I once
complained about this along with handing of dates/times in Python. I
stopped complaining once I realized there are reasons things are
complicated--complicated, is not the right word. The reality stack traces,
like date/times, are pretty complex.  So my second tip is to explore some
tools. For example try:   cgitb.text(sys.exc_info())

There is also a method cgitb.html().
