New submission from Doug Hellmann: Under python 2 when an atexit callback raised an exception the full traceback was displayed. Under python 3, only the summary of the exception is shown.
Input file: import atexit def exit_with_exception(message): raise RuntimeError(message) atexit.register(exit_with_exception, 'Registered first') atexit.register(exit_with_exception, 'Registered second') Python 2: $ python2.7 source/atexit/atexit_exception.py Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/atexit.py", line 24, in _run_exitfuncs func(*targs, **kargs) File "source/atexit/atexit_exception.py", line 36, in exit_with_exception raise RuntimeError(message) RuntimeError: Registered second Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/atexit.py", line 24, in _run_exitfuncs func(*targs, **kargs) File "source/atexit/atexit_exception.py", line 36, in exit_with_exception raise RuntimeError(message) RuntimeError: Registered first Error in sys.exitfunc: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/atexit.py", line 24, in _run_exitfuncs func(*targs, **kargs) File "source/atexit/atexit_exception.py", line 36, in exit_with_exception raise RuntimeError(message) RuntimeError: Registered first Python 3: $ python3.3 source/atexit/atexit_exception.py Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs: RuntimeError: Registered second Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs: RuntimeError: Registered first ---------- messages: 195586 nosy: doughellmann priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: atexit error display behavior changed in python 3 versions: Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18776> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
