module documentation

(source)

Asynchronous-friendly error mechanism.

See Failure.

Class	`DefaultException`	Undocumented
Class	`Failure`	A basic abstraction for an error that has occurred.
Class	`NoCurrentExceptionError`	Raised when trying to create a Failure from the current interpreter exception state and there is no current exception state.
Function	`format_frames`	Format and write frames.
Function	`startDebugMode`	Enable debug hooks for Failures.
Constant	`DO_POST_MORTEM`	Undocumented
Constant	`EXCEPTION_CAUGHT_HERE`	Undocumented
Variable	`count`	Undocumented
Variable	`traceupLength`	Undocumented
Class	`_Code`	A fake code object, used by `_Traceback` via `_Frame`.
Class	`_Frame`	A fake frame object, used by `_Traceback`.
Class	`_TracebackFrame`	Fake traceback object which can be passed to functions in the standard library `traceback` module.
Function	`_debuginit`	Initialize failure object, possibly spawning pdb.
Function	`_extraneous`	Mark the given callable as extraneous to inlineCallbacks exception reporting; don't show these functions.
Function	`_safeReprVars`	Convert a list of (name, object) pairs into (name, repr) pairs.
Function	`_Traceback`	No summary
Variable	`_inlineCallbacksExtraneous`	Undocumented

def format_frames(frames, write, detail='default'): (source)

Format and write frames.

Parameters
frames:list	is a list of frames as used by Failure.frames, with each frame being a list of (funcName, fileName, lineNumber, locals.items(), globals.items())
write:callable	this will be called with formatted strings.
detail:string	Four detail levels are available: default, brief, verbose, and verbose-vars-not-captured. `Failure.printDetailedTraceback` uses the latter when the caller asks for verbose, but no vars were captured, so that an explicit warning about the missing data is shown.

def startDebugMode(): (source)

Enable debug hooks for Failures.

DO_POST_MORTEM: bool = (source)

Undocumented

Value

True

EXCEPTION_CAUGHT_HERE: str = (source)

Undocumented

Value

'--- <exception caught here> ---'

traceupLength: int = (source)

Undocumented

def _debuginit(self, exc_value=None, exc_type=None, exc_tb=None, captureVars=False, Failure__init__=Failure.__init__): (source)

Initialize failure object, possibly spawning pdb.

def _extraneous(f): (source)

Mark the given callable as extraneous to inlineCallbacks exception reporting; don't show these functions.

Parameters
f:function	a function that you NEVER WANT TO SEE AGAIN in ANY TRACEBACK reported by Failure.
Returns
f

def _safeReprVars(varsDictItems): (source)

Convert a list of (name, object) pairs into (name, repr) pairs.

twisted.python.reflect.safe_repr is used to generate the repr, so no exceptions will be raised by faulty __repr__ methods.

Parameters
varsDictItems	a sequence of (name, value) pairs as returned by e.g. `locals().items()`.
Returns
a sequence of (name, repr) pairs.

def _Traceback(stackFrames, tbFrames): (source)

Construct a fake traceback object using a list of frames. Note that although frames generally include locals and globals, this information is not kept by this method, since locals and globals are not used in standard tracebacks.

Parameters
stackFrames	[(methodname, filename, lineno, locals, globals), ...]
tbFrames	[(methodname, filename, lineno, locals, globals), ...]
