set_error_page()
set_error_page(filename)
The set_error_page() method of the PSPInstance object calls a given page passing it the 3-tuple returned by sys.exc_info().
This page will produce an error and call the error.psp page:
<% # psp is an instance of the PSPInstance object # It exists in all PSP pages psp.set_error_page('error.psp') x = 1/0 %>
The error.psp page will have the sys.exc_info() returned tuple available in the exception variable and could send an email to the webmaster:
<% import traceback as tb # The tuple returned by sys.exc_info() # is passed to the error page in a variable named exception exctype, value, traceback = exception # format_exception() is used to format the error listing message = '\n'.join(tb.format_exception(exctype, value, traceback)) # # Here there would be the code to send an email # containing the above message to the webmaster # %> <html><body> <p>This page execution had an error.</p> <p>An email describing this situation has been sent to the webmaster.</p> <p style="color:red"> Never show errors to the user. It is here for didatic purposes only.</p> <pre><%= message %></pre> </body></html>
