Logging Exceptions

Exceptions can be logged in a way that automatically includes traceback information in the log message, as in the following example:

import logging
 
try:
    i = 1 / 0
except Exception as exception:
    logging.exception("Error in computation: %s"
                                        % str(exception))

Run in the Python tab, this produces a log message with the following text:

Error in computation: float division
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
ZeroDivisionError: float division
