Extract unique Python-Exceptions with their traceback from a log file.
## WARNING!
The extraction logic here is heuristic and may fail you. Don’t depend on it for any life or death situations. Also, please submit feedback on how it could be improved!
## Installational
Clone this repository and install with
python setup.py install
This adds a utility called exception or exception.exe to your path.
## Usage
To extract the Python tracebacks from a log called _logfile.txt_, run:
$ exception -f logfile.txt
If you want to exclude certain exceptions, try:
$ exception -f logfile.txt -e ValueError,AttributeError
You can all pass multiple filenames:
$ exception -f logfile1.txt logfile2.txt
This would exclude would exclude any ValueError or AttributeError tracebacks from the output.
The tool can also read the log file from stdout, e.g.:
cat logfile.txt | exception
or
cat logfile.txt | exception -e ValueError
