Get exception description and stack trace which caused an exception, all as a string

Question

I\'ve seen a lot of posts about stack trace and exceptions in Python. But haven\'t found what I need.

I have a chunk of Python 2.7 code that may raise an exception.

Answer 1

my 2-cents:

import sys, traceback
try: 
  ...
except Exception, e:
  T, V, TB = sys.exc_info()
  print ''.join(traceback.format_exception(T,V,TB))
