29.9. traceback — 打印或检索堆栈回溯

该模块提供了一个标准接口来提取、格式化和打印 Python 程序的堆栈跟踪结果。它完全模仿Python 解释器在打印堆栈跟踪结果时的行为。当您想要在程序控制下打印堆栈跟踪结果时，例如在“封装”解释器时，这是非常有用的。

这个模块使用 traceback 对象 —— 这是存储在 中的对象类型变量，并作为 sys.exc_info() 的第三项被返回。

这个模块定义了以下函数：

(tb, limit=None, file=None)

如果limit是正整数，那么从 traceback 对象 “tb” 输出最高 limit 个（从调用函数开始的）栈的堆栈回溯‎条目‎；如果 limit 是负数就输出 abs(limit) 个回溯条目；又如果 limit 被省略或者为 None，那么就会输出所有回溯条目。如果 file 被省略或为 None 那么就会输出至标准输出``sys.stderr``否则它应该是一个打开的文件或者文件类对象来接收输出

在 3.5 版更改: 添加了对负数值 limit 的支持

traceback.print_exception(etype, value, tb, limit=None, file=None, chain=True)

打印回溯对象 tb 到 file 的异常信息和整个堆栈回溯。这和 比有以下方面不同：

• 如果 tb 不为 None，它将打印头部 Traceback (most recent call last):

• 它将在输出完堆栈回溯后，输出异常中的 etype 和 value 信息

• if type(value) is SyntaxError and value has the appropriate format, it prints the line where the syntax error occurred with a caret indicating the approximate position of the error.

The optional limit argument has the same meaning as for . If chain is true (the default), then chained exceptions (the __cause__ or __context__ attributes of the exception) will be printed as well, like the interpreter itself does when printing an unhandled exception.

在 3.5 版更改: The etype argument is ignored and inferred from the type of value.

traceback.print_exc(limit=None, file=None, chain=True)

This is a shorthand for print_exception(*sys.exc_info(), limit, file, chain).

traceback.print_last(limit=None, file=None, chain=True)

This is a shorthand for print_exception(sys.last_type, sys.last_value, sys.last_traceback, limit, file, chain). In general it will work only after an exception has reached an interactive prompt (see sys.last_type).

traceback.print_stack(f=None, limit=None, file=None)

Print up to limit stack trace entries (starting from the invocation point) if limit is positive. Otherwise, print the last abs(limit) entries. If limit is omitted or None, all entries are printed. The optional f argument can be used to specify an alternate stack frame to start. The optional file argument has the same meaning as for .

在 3.5 版更改: 添加了对负数值 limit 的支持

traceback.extract_tb(tb, limit=None)

Return a StackSummary object representing a list of “pre-processed” stack trace entries extracted from the traceback object tb. It is useful for alternate formatting of stack traces. The optional limit argument has the same meaning as for . A “pre-processed” stack trace entry is a FrameSummary object containing attributes filename, lineno, name, and line representing the information that is usually printed for a stack trace. The line is a string with leading and trailing whitespace stripped; if the source is not available it is None.

traceback.extract_stack(f=None, limit=None)

Extract the raw traceback from the current stack frame. The return value has the same format as for . The optional f and limit arguments have the same meaning as for print_stack().

(extracted_list)

Given a list of tuples or objects as returned by extract_tb() or , return a list of strings ready for printing. Each string in the resulting list corresponds to the item with the same index in the argument list. Each string ends in a newline; the strings may contain internal newlines as well, for those items whose source text line is not None.

traceback.format_exception_only(etype, value)

Format the exception part of a traceback. The arguments are the exception type and value such as given by sys.last_type and sys.last_value. The return value is a list of strings, each ending in a newline. Normally, the list contains a single string; however, for SyntaxError exceptions, it contains several lines that (when printed) display detailed information about where the syntax error occurred. The message indicating which exception occurred is the always last string in the list.

traceback.format_exception(etype, value, tb, limit=None, chain=True)

Format a stack trace and the exception information. The arguments have the same meaning as the corresponding arguments to . The return value is a list of strings, each ending in a newline and some containing internal newlines. When these lines are concatenated and printed, exactly the same text is printed as does print_exception().

在 3.5 版更改: The etype argument is ignored and inferred from the type of value.

traceback.format_exc(limit=None, chain=True)

This is like print_exc(limit) but returns a string instead of printing to a file.

traceback.format_tb(tb, limit=None)

traceback.format_stack(f=None, limit=None)

A shorthand for format_list(extract_stack(f, limit)).

traceback.clear_frames(tb)

Clears the local variables of all the stack frames in a traceback tb by calling the clear() method of each frame object.

3.4 新版功能.

traceback.walk_stack(f)

Walk a stack following f.f_back from the given frame, yielding the frame and line number for each frame. If f is None, the current stack is used. This helper is used with .

3.5 新版功能.

traceback.walk_tb(tb)

Walk a traceback following tb_next yielding the frame and line number for each frame. This helper is used with StackSummary.extract().

The module also defines the following classes:

3.5 新版功能.

objects are created from actual exceptions to capture data for later printing in a lightweight fashion.

class traceback.TracebackException(exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback, **, limit=None, lookup_lines=True, capture_locals=False*)

Capture an exception for later rendering. limit, lookup_lines and capture_locals are as for the StackSummary class.

Note that when locals are captured, they are also shown in the traceback.

• __context__

  A of the original __context__.

• The __suppress_context__ value from the original exception.

• stack

  A StackSummary representing the traceback.

• exc_type

  The class of the original traceback.

• filename

  For syntax errors - the file name where the error occurred.

• lineno

  For syntax errors - the line number where the error occurred.

• text

  For syntax errors - the text where the error occurred.

• msg

  For syntax errors - the compiler error message.

• classmethod from_exception(exc, **, limit=None, lookup_lines=True, capture_locals=False*)

  Capture an exception for later rendering. limit, lookup_lines and capture_locals are as for the class.

  Note that when locals are captured, they are also shown in the traceback.

• format(**, chain=True*)

  Format the exception.

  If chain is not True, __cause__ and __context__ will not be formatted.

  The return value is a generator of strings, each ending in a newline and some containing internal newlines. print_exception() is a wrapper around this method which just prints the lines to a file.

  The message indicating which exception occurred is always the last string in the output.

• format_exception_only()

  Format the exception part of the traceback.

  The return value is a generator of strings, each ending in a newline.

  Normally, the generator emits a single string; however, for exceptions, it emits several lines that (when printed) display detailed information about where the syntax error occurred.

  The message indicating which exception occurred is always the last string in the output.

3.5 新版功能.

StackSummary objects represent a call stack ready for formatting.

class traceback.StackSummary

• classmethod extract(frame_gen, **, limit=None, lookup_lines=True, capture_locals=False*)

  Construct a object from a frame generator (such as is returned by walk_stack() or ).

  If limit is supplied, only this many frames are taken from frame_gen. If lookup_lines is False, the returned FrameSummary objects will not have read their lines in yet, making the cost of creating the cheaper (which may be valuable if it may not actually get formatted). If capture_locals is True the local variables in each FrameSummary are captured as object representations.

• classmethod from_list(a_list)

  Construct a object from a supplied list of FrameSummary objects or old-style list of tuples. Each tuple should be a 4-tuple with filename, lineno, name, line as the elements.

• format()

  Returns a list of strings ready for printing. Each string in the resulting list corresponds to a single frame from the stack. Each string ends in a newline; the strings may contain internal newlines as well, for those items with source text lines.

  For long sequences of the same frame and line, the first few repetitions are shown, followed by a summary line stating the exact number of further repetitions.

  在 3.6 版更改: Long sequences of repeated frames are now abbreviated.

3.5 新版功能.

objects represent a single frame in a traceback.

class traceback.FrameSummary(filename, lineno, name, lookup_line=True, locals=None, line=None)

Represent a single frame in the traceback or stack that is being formatted or printed. It may optionally have a stringified version of the frames locals included in it. If lookup_line is False, the source code is not looked up until the FrameSummary has the line attribute accessed (which also happens when casting it to a tuple). may be directly provided, and will prevent line lookups happening at all. locals is an optional local variable dictionary, and if supplied the variable representations are stored in the summary for later display.

This simple example implements a basic read-eval-print loop, similar to (but less useful than) the standard Python interactive interpreter loop. For a more complete implementation of the interpreter loop, refer to the module.

The following example demonstrates the different ways to print and format the exception and traceback:

The output for the example would look similar to this:

This last example demonstrates the final few formatting functions:
