Locating the line number where an exception occurs in python code

Question

I have a code similar to this:

try:
  if x:
      statement1
      statement2
      statement3
  elif y:
      statement4
      statement5
      statement6
          


        

Answer 1

You should wrap the statements you care about more tightly. Extracting the line number from the traceback is going to be involved and fragile.
