Python: Getting a traceback from a multiprocessing.Process

Question

I am trying to get hold of a traceback object from a multiprocessing.Process. Unfortunately passing the exception info through a pipe does not work because traceback objects

Answer 1

The same solutions as @Syrtis Major and @interfect but, tested with Python 3.6:

import sys
import traceback
import functools

def catch_remote_exceptions(wrapped_function):
    """ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6126007/python-getting-a-traceback """

    @functools.wraps(wrapped_function)
    def new_function(*args, **kwargs):
        try:
            return wrapped_function(*args, **kwargs)

        except:
            raise Exception( "".join(traceback.format_exception(*sys.exc_info())) )

    return new_function

Usage:

class ProcessLocker(object):
    @catch_remote_exceptions
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    @catch_remote_exceptions
    def create_process_locks(self, total_processes):
        self.process_locks = []
        # ...
