Hi, I’m relatively new to Python so please excuse me if this question has a pretty obvious answer that I may have missed somewhere. Since I work exclusively with Windows, the majority of my projects are orientated towards GUI interfaces, meaning that the console often gets in the way. From what I understand, *.pyw files open in pythonw.exe, which is a version of python.exe with no console. What I also assumed was that since there is no console, unhandled exceptions would be displayed in a message box or logged somewhere. I seem to be wrong on both counts – no message is displayed and I can find no logs. Is there a way to view such messages without resorting to running them through the standard python.exe?
So the short answer is: nothing happens automatically to re-route exceptions etc. You have all the options you might expect: running with a console active (ie via python.exe or by adding a console); using sys.excepthook; using explicit logging of some sort; re-routing sys.stderr to a file [haven't tried that one but it should work].
But, yes, you have to do something. Nothing happens normally. TJG _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
