[PyQt] Uncaught exceptions

[slepton at posteo.de]

 Hello,

in the past I had some trouble with uncaught exception (e.g. PyCharm
does not show the traceback, at least not without further adjustments,
without console output the information is lost, ...). There are many
posts on Stackoverflow and else where, based on
timlehr.com/python-exception-hooks-with-qt-message-box/ [1]and
fman.io/blog/pyqt-excepthook/ [2]the solution below suits all my needs
and might be be usefull to others. 

Cheers 

Sebastian

import logging
import sys
import traceback
import datetime

from PyQt5.QtCore import QObject
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMessageBox

from collections import namedtuple

fake_tb = namedtuple('fake_tb', ('tb_frame', 'tb_lasti', 'tb_lineno',
'tb_next'))

class UncaughtHook(QObject):
 """Show exceptions in a QMessageBox and add missing frames to the trace

 Usage example:
 --------------
 import sys
 from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
 uncaught_hook_handler = UncaughtHook() 
 # Setting the hook first, import errors (e.g. missing modules) 
 # will be caught and shown graphically as well
 sys.excepthook = uncaught_hook_handler.exception_hook

 app = QApplication([])
 if __name__ == '__main__':
 form your_application import Window
 window = Window()
 window.show()
 app.exec()

 This is based on Exception handling code with popups by Tim Lehr
