Sometimes you're deep down in the code, and you need to debug an error quickly, send a traceback somewhere or log it into a file.
Here's how you can print the traceback of an error in the Python:
import traceback
try:
raise Boom('This is where our code blows')
except Exception:
# here's how you get a traceback output
traceback_output = traceback.format_exc()
# Now you can print it, or send it, or save it in a file
print(traceback_output)
It's a quick and dirty solution, and you probably should be using more sophisticated ways of debugging like error logging, but sometimes you don't have a choice.
Hope it helps someone, let me know by tweeting @timonweb.
