How to save traceback / sys.exc_info() values in a variable?

by

This is how I do it:

>>> import traceback
>>> try:
...   int('k')
... except:
...   var = traceback.format_exc()
... 
>>> print var
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'k'

You should however take a look at the traceback documentation, as you might find there more suitable methods, depending to how you want to process your variable afterwards…
