[ANN]PyCrash-0.4pre2 released
Hi, a new version of PyCrash is released with new features and improvement.You can download it at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98026&package_id=111026&release_id=233776 What's new in this release: * Added a new method to PyCrash class, forceDump(), that forces the creation of the crash dump, if an exception is raised. forceDump() can be very useful when an exception hasn't reached the top-level, but the user wants the same to make a dump of the application context. * Starting from this release, by default, PyCrash doesn't start exception tracing automatically. User must invoke the enable() method to start tracing, and can use the disable() method to stop tracing in every moment. * Now the getEncryptedCrashDump() method of utils.Encrypt.EncryptedPyCrash class is deprecated, and it will be no longer supported starting from PyCrash-0.4 release. Use instead the getCrashDump() method. * Added a new class HTMLPyCrash, in the pycrash.util module, which converts the crash dump in HTML format rather than XML. The generated HTML dump is based on CSS, so the developer can define custom CSS to arrange the output. There is also a new script in the util subdir, named pucrash2html.py, which converts PyCrash file in HTML format. You can see an example of the output generated by the HTML dumper here: http://pycrash.sourceforge.net/test-pycrash.html Enjoy! _______________________________________________________________________ About PyCrash Project: PyCrash is a Run-Time Exception Dumper which handles uncaught exceptions during the execution of Python programs and collects information about the program context. PyCrash can be very useful in report bug information, because the programmer can easily analyse the program execution context of the crashed application. Major information collected by PyCrash in the crash dump is: - Information about operating system, Python and Python Standard Library version and general information about the program that is crashed (e.g., program name and version, time at witch program started and ended, and so on) - Information about the uncaught exceptions, like the exception type, the context (namely method name) in which the exception occurred and the exception value - General information about variables state - Information about the stack of each thread, like the list of stack frames, the variables value in each stack frame, and so on - General information about source code, like variable and function position in source file that can be useful for the programmer to find quickly bugs in source tree The format of the crash dump file generated by PyCrash is XML, so the programmer can easily read this file to understand why the program is crashed. Now, is also available a GUI browser, named PyCrash Viewer, which allows developers to analyze quickly and easily PyCrash crash dump files in a graphical manner. * Starting from next version, we'll try to document all the PyCrash API More information can be found at: http://www.pycrash.org Thanks! <P><A HREF="http://www.pycrash.org";>PyCrash 0.4pre2</A> - a crash handler for Python written applications.
