Exception passing

[Thomas Dybdahl Ahle]

Hi, I have a function, which looks like the following:

connecting = False
def func ():
global connecting
connecting = True
try:
# Do lot of network stuff
except Exception, e:
connecting = False
raise e

This works quite good, but it is a hell to debug. Instead of getting a
log message to the line which originally raised the exception.

Is there anyway to reraise an exception, but preserve the log?

You could import traceback and use its functionality.

Lundh mentioned using sys.exc_info about an hour ago to another user.
See http://effbot.org/pyref/sys.exc_info.htm

Just use
raise
without any argument.

E.g.:

>>def raiser():

.... print 1/0
....

>>def reraise1():

.... print 'before'
.... try: raiser()
.... except Exception, e:
.... print 'after'
.... raise e
....

>>def reraise2():

.... print 'before'
.... try: raiser()
.... except Exception, e:
.... print 'after'
.... raise
....

>>reraise1()

before
after
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 6, in reraise1
ZeroDivisionErr or: integer division or modulo by zero

>>reraise2()

before
after
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 3, in reraise2
File "<stdin>", line 2, in raiser
ZeroDivisionErr or: integer division or modulo by zero

As you see, the traceback is "maintained " when you just "raise", though
it's altered when you "raise e".
