How to Fix: When I catch an exception, how do I get the type, file, and line number?

When you catch an exception in Python, you can access information about the error using the `__traceback__` attribute of the exception object. This attribute contains a traceback object that provides information about the call stack at the time the exception occurred.

💡 Conclusion

To format the exception information into your desired output, you can use a combination of string formatting and the traceback object. For example:

import traceback as tb try: 4 / 0 except ZeroDivisionError as e: error_type = type(e).__name__ file_name = tb.extract_tb(e.__traceback__).fileno().decode('utf-8') line_number = tb.extract_tb(e.__traceback__).tb_lineno print(f'{error_type}, {file_name}, {line_number}')
