I've looked at traceback module but I can't find how to limit traceback from the most recent call if it is possible. I see that extract_tb has a limit parameter, but it limits from the start and not the end. Currently I've made my own traceback code to do this but wonder if python already has a way to do this build in:

def format_partial_exc(limit=None):

   (type, value, tb) = sys.exc_info()

   items = traceback.extract_tb(tb)

   if limit:

       items = items[-limit:] # Get last 'limit' items and not first

   result = 'Traceback (most recent call last):\n'

   items = traceback.format_list(items)

   for i in items:

       result += i # Newline already included

   result += type.__name__ + ': ' + str(value)

   return result

Is this possible currently from traceback or other python module?

If memory serves, you can catch the exception, then re-raise it -- this should hide all the traceback below where you caught it, but still return the actual error.

Hope this helps.
