Summary: sys.excepthook shows relevant bindings.
Initial Comment:
The attached module provides a suitable replacement for sys.excepthook to
handle uncaught exceptions.
The output is the same, except after each source line shown, a list of relevant
bindings is shown.
Here's a quick example from the tail end of a test:
File "./test-exprann.py", line 16, in f
assert c == 12
# With bindings:
# c = 42
AssertionError
The bindings shown are the intersection of the code object "co_names" and the
non-keyword name tokens in the parsed source line. The goal is to only show
bindings relevant to the exception.
I hope the utility of this is self-evident to any programmer. I tried testing
it with crazy expressions containing nonfree bindings (such as lambda's and
list comprehensions), so I think it behaves well in most circumstances.
The performance might be bad (it parses each line in the backtrace), but I
figure it is worth it for uncaught exceptions.
Let me know if you find this tool useful.
Thanks,
Nejucomo
