Couple quick tips:


1. IPython's `%xmode verbose` automatically gives extra detailed tracebacks
that are particularly useful for this:

In [25]: x=0

In [26]: y=1

In [27]: y/x
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ZeroDivisionError                         Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-27-d2d3fa2acc3f> in <module>()
----> 1 y/x

ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

In [28]: %xmode verbose
Exception reporting mode: Verbose

In [29]: y/x
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ZeroDivisionError                         Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-29-d2d3fa2acc3f> in <module>()
----> 1 y/x
        global y = 1
        global x = 0

ZeroDivisionError: division by zero



2. IPython's sys_info() prints system details:

In [20]: from IPython import sys_info

In [21]: print(sys_info())
{'commit_hash': '36ab971de',
 'commit_source': 'repository',
 'default_encoding': 'UTF-8',
 'ipython_path': '/Users/fperez/dev/ipython/ipython/IPython',
 'ipython_version': '6.2.0.dev',
 'os_name': 'posix',
 'platform': 'Darwin-16.7.0-x86_64-i386-64bit',
 'sys_executable': '/Users/fperez/usr/conda/bin/python',
 'sys_platform': 'darwin',
 'sys_version': '3.6.2 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Oct  5 2017, 03:00:07) \n'
                '[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Clang 4.0.1
(tags/RELEASE_401/final)]'}

In fact, IPython's crash handler (its internal sys.excepthook) consists
more or less of a traceback made with verbose mode + the output of
sys_info, and it can be very handy.

Cheers,
