[Zope-dev] Better diagnostics during product load?

[Jonothan Farr]

> Often, when Zope tries to load my product, it logs the simple error message:
>     2000-02-21T23:51:57 ERROR(200) Zope Couldn't install MyProduct
> There is no traceback, not in the log and not in the product screen of the
> Control Panel. I presume the problem is syntax errors in the Python code of
> the product.

> How can I get Zope to show me a traceback pointing out the syntax errors?


In the __init__.py for your product, use a try: except to print out the
traceback.

try:

    <product initialization here>

except:
    import traceback
    traceback.print_exc()


This will print the traceback to stderr.
