sharetrace 1.0.0

Capture and share detailed traceback information

Sharetrace

A Python library & CLI for capturing and sharing comprehensive traceback information.

Overview

Sharetrace makes it easier to share Python exceptions and tracebacks with others by capturing:

• Full exception details (type, message, traceback)
• Code context around each frame in the stack trace
• Git repository information (if available)
• System information (Python version, platform, etc.)
• Local variable values at each frame

All this information is saved to a cache directory as JSON files that can later be used to generate shareable HTML reports.

Usage

Capture Traceback Information

import sharetrace

# Install the exception hook (call this early in your program)
sharetrace.install_exception_hook()

# Now any unhandled exceptions will be captured automatically
raise ValueError("This will be captured!")

Generate Shareable HTML Pages

Just invoke the interactive CLI!

sharetrace [--open-browser]

Examples

A demo traceback can be created with sharetrace_demo and visualized with sharetrace.

Notes

• KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit are not captured (they use the default handler)
• If the capture process fails, the original exception is still displayed
