''' Created on 9 Jun 2013 @author: lukasz.forynski @brief: Function to get some trace information about the exception-rising code, when called from exception handler. This information includes: - module name - class name (if exception executed in the method) - line number This might be more useful (and logical) than what's provided with traceback which gives filenames, line numbers and code snippets https://github.com/formiaczek/python_data_structures ___________________________________ Copyright (c) 2013 Lukasz Forynski Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sub-license, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: - The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
