[Pydev-users] Re: pydev extensions problem

[Fabio Z. <fa...@gm...>]

Hi Matthew & Toby,

I'm forwarding this to the pydev-users list because I think that others may
be able to take advantage of this answer...

Pydev currently does no exception-handling, however, you can add your own i=
f
you want to do so by changing the sys.__excepthook__

E.g.:

def myHook(*args, **kwargs):
    sys._original_excepthook(*args, **kwargs)

sys._original_excepthook =3D sys.__excepthook__
sys.__excepthook__ =3D myHook

And then you can put a breakpoint in the 'sys._original_excepthook(*args,
**kwargs)' line, so that whenever you have an unhandled exception it will
stop there. An implementation of exception-handling in the debugger is
planned, but it is still not implemented, so, you can add your own in this
way.

Cheers,

Fabio
