Function Details

keyboard(banner='Type EOF/^D to continue', builtin=0)

source code

Clone of the matlab keyboard() function.

Drop down into interactive shell for debugging Use it like the matlab keyboard command -- dumps you into interactive shell where you can poke around and look at variables in the current stack frame

The idea and code are stolen from something Fredrick Lundh posted on the web a while back.

get_traceback(show=None)

source code

Stack dump to stdout.

Collect the current exception information (after catching the exception) as a string so it can be reported to the user or logged. This is an internal function, don't call it directly, use the reporterror() function instead.

Stolen from the Pmw source code.

reporterror(gui=True, dbug=False)

source code

Pretty printer for error messages.

Pretty print a timestamped error message on the console or popup a dialog window based on the current exception state in the current stack frame. This is really just for debugging.
