[Ironpython-users] Unhandled .Net Exception

[Dino Viehland]

This should do it - the hosting APIs changed quite a bit between 2.0 and 2.7:
import clr
clr.AddReference('IronPython')
from IronPython.Runtime import PythonContext
import System
clr.GetCurrentRuntime().GetLanguage(PythonContext).FormatException(System.Exception())

There could be other variations such as using GetLanguageByExtension and not needing to add a ref to IronPython but those will require that the script runtime has the languages properly registered.

Subject: [Ironpython-users] Unhandled .Net Exception

Hello, I was looking at adding a handler for otherwise-uncaught .Net exceptions, and had found this page: http://www.ironpython.info/index.php/Handling_Unhandled_Exceptions useful. However, the code shown falls over where he's trying to get a nicely formatted python exception here:

    from IronPython.Hosting import PythonEngine

    pyE = PythonEngine()

    print pyE.FormatException(event.Exception)
where I get "ImportError: No module named Hosting". At the bottom he has a note saying:

"For IronPython 2.0, the code to format the exception from a PythonEngine is slightly different:

import clr

clr.AddReference('IronPython')

from IronPython.Hosting import PythonEngine

PythonEngine.CurrentEngine.FormatException(someException)
"

which gives me "ImportError: Cannot import name PythonEngine".

I'm using IronPython 2.7.0.40 with .Net 4.0.30319.239. I assume the API has changed here; can anyone tell me if there is a way to do something like this FormatException in IronPython 2.7?

Thanks.
