Also, you may want to enable the 'unsafeTracebacks' flag. In general, when PB calls a method that raises an exception, the traceback is recorded to the log on the "near" side of the connection, but very little information is sent to the "far" side of the connection. (this is intended as a security feature.. tracebacks frequently contain copies of the code that failed, and you might not want to expose that.. Failure instances can contain copies of stack frames, local variables, all kinds of juicy stuff). The 'unsafeTracebacks' flag tells PB to convey more information over the wire. The remote side (the one which callRemote'ed the failing method) still gets a Failure object, all asynchronous exceptions in Twisted are reported this way, but it gets a Failure object with more attributes than it would get if unsafeTracebacks==False. The "Traceback unavailable" message is specifically a result of unsafeTracebacks==False. But, in practice, I usually try to debug these sorts of failures on the target side, closer to the code that raised the exception. You're always going to get more information on that end of the wire. hope that helps, -Brian
