Install

From GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com.djosix/ei.git

From PyPI:

pip install ei

Usage

patch and unpatch:

def main():
    a, b, c = 1, 2, 3
    raise ValueError()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import ei

    # replace sys.excepthook with ei.Hook(select=True),
    # refer to ei.Hook() for more options
    ei.patch(select=True)
    # set select=True if you want to choose which stack frame to embed into

    # when the exception is raised, it will ask you if you want
    # to embed an IPython shell with local variables of main()
    main()

    # restore sys.excepthook
    ei.unpatch()

You can also use capture with the with statement:

def main():
    a, b, c = 1, 2, 3
    raise ValueError()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import ei

    # context manager for patch() and unpatch()
    with ei.capture(select=True):
        main()

In case you want to change mode and color of the traceback class:

import ei

ei.probe()
'''
IPython debug hook is available!
  class ListTB
    modes: None
    colors: ['NoColor', 'Linux', 'LightBG', 'Neutral', '']
  class VerboseTB
    modes: None
    colors: ['NoColor', 'Linux', 'LightBG', 'Neutral', '']
  class FormattedTB
    modes: ['Plain', 'Context', 'Verbose', 'Minimal']
    colors: ['NoColor', 'Linux', 'LightBG', 'Neutral', '']
  class AutoFormattedTB
    modes: ['Plain', 'Context', 'Verbose', 'Minimal']
    colors: ['NoColor', 'Linux', 'LightBG', 'Neutral', '']
  class ColorTB
    modes: ['Plain', 'Context', 'Verbose', 'Minimal']
    colors: ['NoColor', 'Linux', 'LightBG', 'Neutral', '']
  class SyntaxTB
    modes: None
    colors: ['NoColor', 'Linux', 'LightBG', 'Neutral', '']
'''

ei.patch(tb_class='VerboseTB', tb_mode='Verbose', tb_color='Linux')

    n = 123 / n
    return n
