Friendly tracebacks - in English¶
Friendly aims to provide friendlier feedback when an exception is raised than what is done by Python. Below, we can find some examples. SyntaxError cases, as well as TabError and IndentationError cases, are shown in a separate page. Not all cases handled by friendly are included here.
Note
The content of this page is generated by running
C:Usersandregithubfriendly-tracebackteststrb_english.py located in the tests/
directory.
This needs to be done explicitly, independently of updating the
documentation using Sphinx.
Friendly version: 0.3.142 Python version: 3.10.0b3
ArithmeticError¶
Generic¶
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "TESTS:\runtime\test_arithmetic_error.py", line 9, in test_Generic
raise ArithmeticError('error')
ArithmeticError: error
`ArithmeticError` is the base class for those built-in exceptions
that are raised for various arithmetic errors.
It is unusual that you are seeing this exception;
normally, a more specific exception should have been raised.
Exception raised on line 9 of file TESTS:\runtime\test_arithmetic_error.py.
7: # Usually, a subclass such as ZeroDivisionError, etc., would
8: # likely be raised.
--> 9: raise ArithmeticError('error')
10: except ArithmeticError as e:
ArithmeticError: <class ArithmeticError>
AssertionError¶
Generic¶
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "TESTS:\runtime\test_assertion_error.py", line 8, in test_Generic
raise AssertionError("Fake message")
AssertionError: Fake message
In Python, the keyword `assert` is used in statements of the form
`assert condition`, to confirm that `condition` is not `False`,
nor equivalent to `False` such as an empty list, etc.
If `condition` is `False` or equivalent, an `AssertionError` is raised.
Exception raised on line 8 of file TESTS:\runtime\test_assertion_error.py.
6: # We raise it explicitly, rather than with the keyword assert, since
7: # we don't want pytest to rewrite out test.

AttributeError: module 'keyword' has no attribute 'pi'
Did you mean one of the following modules: `math, cmath`?
An `AttributeError` occurs when the code contains something like
`object.x`
and `x` is not a method or attribute (variable) belonging to `object`.
Instead of the module `keyword`, perhaps you wanted to use
the attribute `pi` of one of the following modules:
`math, cmath`.

`len` is a function. Perhaps you meant to write

AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'foo'
An `AttributeError` occurs when the code contains something like

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'my_turtle1' has no attribute 'something' (most likely due to a circular import)
Did you give your program the same name as a Python module?
An `AttributeError` occurs when the code contains something like
`object.x`
and `x` is not a method or attribute (variable) belonging to `object`.
I suspect that you used the name `my_turtle1.py` for your program
and that you also wanted to import a module with the same name
from Python's standard library.
If so, you should use a different name for your program.

You have a circular import.
An `AttributeError` occurs when the code contains something like
`object.x`
and `x` is not a method or attribute (variable) belonging to `object`.
Python indicated that the module `{module}` was not fully imported.
This can occur if, during the execution of the code in module `circular_c`

Because of the surrounding parenthesis, `(a + b)`

`[1, 2]`, which is an object of type `list`

local variables. Before they are used, they must be assigned a value.
A variable that is used before it is assigned a value is assumed to
be defined outside that function; it is known as a `global`
(or sometimes `nonlocal`) variable. You cannot assign a value to such
a global variable inside a function without first indicating to
Python that this is a global variable, otherwise you will see
an `UnboundLocalError`.
The name `spam_missing_both` exists in both the global and nonlocal scope.
