IPython.core.interactiveshell:InteractiveShell.showtraceback
Signature
def showtraceback(self, exc_tuple: tuple[type[BaseException], BaseException, AnyType] | None = None, filename: str | None = None, tb_offset: int | None = None, exception_only: bool = False, running_compiled_code: bool = False) → NoneSummary
Display the exception that just occurred.
Extended Summary
If nothing is known about the exception, this is the method which should be used throughout the code for presenting user tracebacks, rather than directly invoking the InteractiveTB object.
A specific showsyntaxerror() also exists, but this method can take care of calling it if needed, so unless you are explicitly catching a SyntaxError exception, don't try to analyze the stack manually and simply call this method.
