[IronPython] Traceback Objects?

[Mark Rees]

Was hoping someone with more knowledge would answer your question but
think theres been a holiday in the US. I cannot say if IP behaves the
same as CPython in this case, but I was going to say that using the
the standard traceback module allows printing of the stack. Even one
of the IP team said it in a email:

the standard Python library against IronPython to make this really
useful – then you can do import traceback and use its handy functions
(otherwise you'll be walking the traceback list in sys.exc_info()
which won't be much fun).

But running this code:

import sys, traceback
def test():
  try:
    raise Exception()
  except:
    print traceback.format_exc()
    print traceback.print_stack()


test()

I got this:

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tb_frame'
   at IronPython.Runtime.Types.DynamicType.GetAttr(ICallerContext context, Objec
t self, SymbolId name)
   at IronPython.Runtime.Operations.Ops.GetAttr(ICallerContext context, Object o

   at IronPythonConsole.PythonCommandLine.TryInteractiveAction(InteractiveAction
 interactiveAction, Boolean& continueInteraction)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tb_frame'

So maybe it is a bug, or you can use traceback for simple things but
not printing the stack or maybe it only affects Australians like you
and me.
