grit

Context manager for shrugging off exceptions less badly.

Subtitle: exception handling for lazy people.

Description and Rationale

Does your code suffer from an overuse of bare exceptions?

What if you could still shrug off exceptions when needed but not be so cringe about it?

try:
    foobar()
except Exception:
    pass

from grit import Grit

# Full exception stacktrace is automatically logged
with Grit():
    foobar()

Quick start

pip install py-grit

>>> from grit import Grit
>>> with Grit():
...     raise RunTimeError("something bad")
>>> print("Uh, everything is under control. Situation normal")
Uh, everything is under control. Situation normal

Propagate the errors you care about, while ignoring the ones you don't.

>>> from grit import Grit
>>> with Grit(dnr_list=[ZeroDivisionError]):
...     42 / 0
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

And handle those that require special attention

>>> from grit import Grit
>>> with Grit(handlers={ValueError: print}):
...     raise ValueError("what have you done?!")
what have you done?!

Logging and results

Grit() accepts a fallback_handler callable which will be called on the exception if no specific 'handler' (handlers) is found.

By default the fallback_handler will log a full exception traceback at the debug level using self.logger.

To change this behavior, provide your own fallback_handler or explicitly set it a None.

>>> from grit import Grit
>>> with Grit(fallback_handler=print):
...     raise TypeError("what have I done?!")
what have I done?!
