6.7.3 Error Messages
In case of a problem, an error message gives information about the source of the problem. Python error
messages always consist of a so-called
traceback and the error type .
Example:
>>> 1/0
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
>>>
For remote control purposes always
the last line
of the error messages contains the most valuable infor-
mation, i.e. the error type (in this case "division by zero"). The traceback in the first part of the message
only describes the position of the error source in the code that was being executed. If case of our single
commands it will most probably always be
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
indicating that the command, causing the error, was entered at the console (standard input, "<stdin>").
The traceback may look more complicated when scripts are executed and the error happened inside a
command call, nested inside other commands. In any case the error type is noted at the end.
