pmerror

Graphical unhandled exception handler for Dabo applications.

It will catch unhandled errors, display a friendly UI dialog to the end-user, and log the error to an XML file in the user Application Directory.

Requirements

• Python 2.6.5 or higher
• wxPython 2.8.12.1 or higher
• Dabo 0.9.4 or higher

Screenshots

• Mac

Run the demo

After installing and confirming the above prerequisites were installed:

cd pmerror
python app.py

Use it in your application

Put it in your PYTHONPATH. I have the pmerror package under /home/pmcnett/pmerror and so I add a .pth file to my /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages directory that says /home/pmcnett/pmerror.

Then mix it in to your application like:

import dabo.ui
dabo.ui.loadUI("wx")
from dabo.dApp import dApp
from pmerror.app import ErrorAppMixin

class ErrorHandlingApp(dApp, ErrorAppMixin): pass

app = ErrorHandlingApp(MainFormClass=None)
app.PMError_HandleErrors = True

The default is for PMError_HandleErrors to be False at development time and True at runtime (if "frozen" in an executable).
