minutes?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mymodule.py", line 9, in somefunction
someobj.bar()
... zero or more lines ...
File "somelibrary.py", line 3, in bar
raise NotImplementedError("must implement abstract method bar")
NotImplementedError: must implement abstract method bar
you have to look at the last line of a traceback to find the error message, and
the offending module/method is two lines above that.

yet you claim to be an expert on issues related to debugging NotImplemented-
Error exceptions?
