commit cc43a6ca90e3943a542258b2b4d8466ae9a4ac36 Author: Damian Johnson atagar@torproject.org Date: Sun Dec 30 12:19:10 2018 -0800
Include the originating stacktrace in stem.descriptor.remote exceptions
Our remote module needs to retain then later rethrow exceptions, which makes stacktraces less than helpful.
Both python 2.x and 3.x have mechanisms for preserving stacktraces but they both rely on language syntax rather than libraries, so we cannot use either without breaking compatibility with the other version.
As such opting for the least bad option I can think of which is to encode the original stacktrace within our message.
As mentioned in the code's comment we'll opt for something better when we drop python 2.x support. --- stem/descriptor/remote.py | 35 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
