Pretty and more helpful exceptions in Python, automatically.
Install byomkesh_bakshi via pip:
$ pip install byomkesh_bakshiAnd set the BYOMKESH_BAKSHI environment variable to any value:
export BYOMKESH_BAKSHI=1 # Linux / OSX
setx BYOMKESH_BAKSHI 1 # WindowsThat's it!
In order to use byomkesh_bakshi in the Python REPL, first install the package (as instructed above) and run:
$ python -m byomkesh_bakshi
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(ByomkeshBakshiConsole)
>>>in order to drop into a byomkesh_bakshi-enabled Python interactive shell.
If you want to allow the entirety of values to be outputted instead of being truncated to a certain amount of characters:
import byomkesh_bakshi
byomkesh_bakshi.MAX_LENGTH = NoneWhile using byomkesh_bakshi in production, do not forget to unset the BYOMKESH_BAKSHI variable to avoid leaking sensitive data in your logs.
If you do not see beautiful exceptions, first make sure that the environment variable does exist. You can try echo $BYOMKESH_BAKSHI (Linux / OSX) or echo %BYOMKESH_BAKSHI% (Windows). On Linux and OSX, the export command does not add the variable permanently, you will probably need to edit the ~/.profile file to make it persistent. On Windows, you need to open a new terminal after the setx command.
Check that there is no conflict with another library, and that the sys.excepthook function has been correctly replaced with the byomkesh_bakshi's one. Sometimes other components can set up their own exception handlers, such as the python3-apport Ubuntu package that you may need to uninstall.
Make sure that you have not inadvertently deleted the byomkesh_bakshi_hook.pth file that should be in the same place as the byomkesh_bakshi folder where all of your Python packages are installed. Otherwise, try re-installing byomkesh_bakshi.
You can also try to manually activate the hook by adding import byomkesh_bakshi; byomkesh_bakshi.hook() at the beginning of your script.
Finally, if you still can not get this module to work, open a new issue by describing your problem precisely and detailing your configuration (Python and byomkesh_bakshi versions, OS, code snippet, interpeter, etc.) so that we can reproduce the bug you are experiencing.
