Stdlib Compatibility

XTraceback works as a drop-in replacement for the standard library’s traceback module and can patch logging.LogFormatter.formatException()

XTraceback should be installed as early as possible in your code, or alternatively in a site sitecustomize module.

traceback

>>> import xtraceback
>>> xtraceback.compat.install()

This installs xtraceback.StdlibCompat.print_exception() as a sys.excepthook and patches the traceback module replacing the following functions with extended versions from xtraceback.StdlibCompat:

• traceback.format_tb()
• traceback.format_exception_only()
• traceback.format_exception()
• traceback.format_exc()
• traceback.print_tb()
• traceback.print_exception()
• traceback.print_exc()

logging

>>> import logging
>>> import xtraceback
>>> logging.basicConfig()
>>> xtraceback.compat.install_logging(logging.root.handlers[0])
