        the exception to analyze


    Result
    ------

    Parameter
    ---------
    trace_back
        if traceback information should be printed. This is usually set early
        in the CLI application to the config object via a commandline option.

Installation and Upgrade

• Before You start, its highly recommended to update pip and setup tools:

python -m pip --upgrade pip
python -m pip --upgrade setuptools

• to install the latest release from PyPi via pip (recommended):

python -m pip install --upgrade cli_exit_tools

• to install the latest release from PyPi via pip, including test dependencies:

python -m pip install --upgrade cli_exit_tools[test]

• to install the latest version from github via pip:

python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/bitranox/cli_exit_tools.git

• include it into Your requirements.txt:

# Insert following line in Your requirements.txt:
# for the latest Release on pypi:
cli_exit_tools

# for the latest development version :
cli_exit_tools @ git+https://github.com/bitranox/cli_exit_tools.git

# to install and upgrade all modules mentioned in requirements.txt:
python -m pip install --upgrade -r /<path>/requirements.txt

• to install the latest development version, including test dependencies from source code:

# cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/bitranox/cli_exit_tools.git
$ cd cli_exit_tools
python -m pip install -e .[test]

• via makefile: makefiles are a very convenient way to install. Here we can do much more, like installing virtual environments, clean caches and so on.

# from Your shell's homedirectory:
$ git clone https://github.com/bitranox/cli_exit_tools.git
$ cd cli_exit_tools

# to run the tests:
$ make test

# to install the package
$ make install

# to clean the package
$ make clean

# uninstall the package
$ make uninstall

Requirements

following modules will be automatically installed :
