How To See Complete Traceback?

I have added an assert(0) in a function to understand the sequence of function calls to this function. Ex: def my_func(): ...lines of code... assert(0) ...more lines of

Solution 1:

Use traceback module for this. I.e.

>>> import traceback
>>> def my_func():
...     my_other_func()
... 
>>> def my_other_func():
...     my_third()
... 
>>> def my_third():
...     print "Stack"
...     traceback.print_stack()
...     print "Extracted"
...     print repr(traceback.extract_stack())
... 
>>> 
>>> my_func()
Stack
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in my_func
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in my_other_func
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in my_third
Extracted
[('<stdin>', 1, '<module>', None), 
 ('<stdin>', 2, 'my_func', None), 
 ('<stdin>', 2, 'my_other_func', None), 
 ('<stdin>', 5, 'my_third', None)]
