What I would like is the full stack trace of what went wrong on the
server (i.e. the junk python usually dumps to the console when an
exception occurs). I don't care which side I see the dump on (client
or server), but I need to see the whole trace so I can figure out what
the problem is. Is there an easy way to do this?
I had the same need and I am copying the code I used here. Please note
that the code does a little bit more than getting the full stack
traces. To use it, simply copy it to a file and use "Server" and
"ServerProx y" from this module.
Thanks,

This package provides a userful wrapper around the xmlrpc client and
server
from stdlib. The main benefits include:
The server provides functions alive and kill. More over, any exception
generated
in rpc functions result in the whole stack trace to be sent across.
The client
processes this stack trace and re-raises the exception.
