Catching a 500 server error in Flask

Question

I love Flask\'s error catching. It\'s beautifully simple:

@app.errorhandler(404)
def pageNotFound(error):
    return \"page not found\"

works

Answer 1

My solution to this was to turn on the propagation of exceptions, by modifying the config dictionary:

app = Flask(__name__)
...
app.config['PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS'] = True
