Read again the docs for the traceback module. Maybe you are looking for traceback.format_exception(*sys.exc_info()) or traceback.format_exc() > f = tempfile.TemporaryFile(mode='w+') > sys.stdout = f > traceback.print_tb(sys.exc_info()[2]) In this case you can use StringIO instead of a temporary file, and the file argument to print_tb instead of swapping sys.stdout -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
