You've had a couple of responses with tips for how to log the traceback.
Before you adopt those approaches, please consider whether you actually
need it or not, though.
Tracebacks should be logged for errors the application can't recover
from. They shouldn't be logged for user errors, warnings, or errors
that an operator can fix without changing source code. Errors the
operator can handle should be logged with details about what happened,
but not the traceback.
Our logging guidelines are available at
