If you want to manipulate tracebacks, use sys.exc_info() and the
traceback module from the standard library. The logging module also
comes with an exception() function and an exception() method for Logger

As of Python 3.3, there is a py.exe in the system32 directory that

Does 'from __future__ import barry_as_FLUFL' do anything? Despite PEP
401, using print as a statement still raises a SyntaxError.
Where is 'from __future__ import braces' implemented in CPython (it's
not in __future__.py)?

There's a security issue with moinmoin. The Python wiki is not the only

You're right, but it's pretty hard for some people to do what they're
supposed to when it isn't what they're used to.

This, primarily because it represents 3 words, and secondarily to
eliminate confusion with PyPy.

It's a rare occurrence, but sometimes my script will terminate and I get
this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\path\to\script\script.py", line 992, in
That's it. And the line number is always the last line of the file

I'm pretty sure there isn't a way. cp65001 is supposed to be UTF-8, but

I tried to build Python 3.2.2 with VS 2008, but it seems I'm missing
some header files (e.g. sqlite3, openssl). Is there a nice little
package with all the dependencies, or do I need to grab source code
packages for each program from their respective websites, or something
else entirely?
