Hide traceback unless a debug flag is set

Question

What is the idiomatic python way to hide traceback errors unless a verbose or debug flag is set?

Example code:

their_md5 = \'c38f03d2b7160f891fc36ec         


        

Answer 1

try:
    pass # Your code here
except Exception as e:
    if debug:
        raise # re-raise the exception
              # traceback gets printed
    else:
        print("{}: {}".format(type(e).__name__, e))
