Question

What is the best way to get exceptions\' messages from components of standard library in Python?

I had the same problem. I think the best solution is to use log.exception, which will automatically print out stack trace and error message, such as:

try:
    pass
    log.info('Success')
except:
    log.exception('Failed')
