[IronPython] Traceback Objects?

[Dino Viehland]

This looks to be a bug (note if you're running on a 64-bit box though we disable tracebacks by default due to another issue).  But what appears to be happening is we don't create the traceback if the exception is caught within the method that raises it.  Compare with:

>>> def test():
...     try:
...         test1()
...     except Exception, oErr: print sys.exc_info()
...
>>> def test1(): raise Exception()
...
>>> test()
(<class exceptions.Exception at 0x000000000000002B>, <exceptions.Exception instance at 0x000000000000002E>, <traceback object at 0x000000000000002F>)

Where we do create the traceback object.  I've created CodePlex bug 2912 (http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&WorkItemId=2912) to track this.  Thanks for the report, we'll get this fixed in a post-1.0 release.

Thanks for that, Mark.

For some reason I was unable to find the message from Dino that you quoted.
As for the CPython thing, I'm trying to stick to a policy of only using ipy and C# (and as little C# as possible).

cheers,

Was hoping someone with more knowledge would answer your question but think theres been a holiday in the US. I cannot say if IP behaves the same as CPython in this case, but I was going to say that using the the standard traceback module allows printing of the stack. Even one of the IP team said it in a email:

the standard Python library against IronPython to make this really useful - then you can do import traceback and use its handy functions (otherwise you'll be walking the traceback list in sys.exc_info() which won't be much fun).

But running this code:

import sys, traceback
def test():
  try:
    raise Exception()
  except:
    print traceback.format_exc()
    print traceback.print_stack()


test()

I got this:

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tb_frame'
   at IronPython.Runtime.Types.DynamicType.GetAttr(ICallerContext context, Objec t self, SymbolId name)
   at IronPython.Runtime.Operations.Ops.GetAttr(ICallerContext context, Object o , SymbolId name)

   at
IronPythonConsole.PythonCommandLine.TryInteractiveAction(InteractiveAction
 interactiveAction, Boolean& continueInteraction)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tb_frame'

So maybe it is a bug, or you can use traceback for simple things but not printing the stack or maybe it only affects Australians like you and me.
