Can you format a Python Traceback?

Question

Is there any way to format Python Traceback to get a better reading of the error request? For example, I received the following request on my traceback:

"<WSGIRequest\npath:/admin/verificacao/verificacao/1849/,\nGET:<QueryDict: {}>,\nPOST:<QueryDict: {u'trajeto': [u''], u'concluido': [u'1'], u'_save': [u'Salvar'], u'consultor': [u'18'], u'resposta_21': [u'As parcerias realizadas.\\r\\nDedica\\xe7\\xe3o da equipe envolvida.\\r\\nPlanejamento para os eventos.\\r\\nImplementa\\xe7\\xe3o essencial da pol\\xedtica pedag\\xf3gica.\\r\\nEstudo pr\\xe9vio dos pontos de fragilidade das comunidades.'], u'resposta_20': [u'A extens\\xe3o territorial \\xe9 do estado de goi\\xe1s, podendo estender-se \\xe0s outras defensorias.\\r\\n'], u'resposta_23': [u'78 processos ativos que foram arquivados na comunidade do Assentamento de Canudos.\\r\\n'], u'resposta_22': [u'Praticamente todas foram superadas com a parte pedag\\xf3gica e negocial.\\r\\nHavia as dificuldades para levar ao conhecimento do jurisdicionado seus direitos e at\\xe9 mesmo os benef\\xedcios que possu\\xedam.\\r\\n'], u'resposta_25': [u'1.

Only it’s really bad to read it like that. Has some way to make it more pleasing to the eye and more understandable?

Answer 1

This does not seem to me a traceback. Apparently someone passed an object WSGIRequest as if it were a Exception or an error message (string) already formatted. Then Python simply converted to string in the easiest way, using __repr__.

I imagine the mistake lies where you’re trying to pass the Exception for your logger.
