Tip of the day #21 - Python get the trace !

Do you know that you can get the type and the trace of an exception you caught ?
That’s quite useful when you don’t know yet the exact typology of exception you might have to handle.

Just like this :
import traceback
try:
something()
except Exception as ex:
print(‘Exception type=‘ + str(type(ex)))
traceback.print_exc() # or traceback.print_exception(*sys.exc_info())

Have fun, stay safe and be nice until next time, cheers ! 🤘🏼🍻
