*My friendly error base class - for Python.*

## Introduction

One in general always needs a application/library specific error base class, but the native errors are very limited in what meta/debugging information they can hold at time they are raised. For better debugging and error reporting/inspection this error base class allows to attach some additonal error context information that can be used to better understand the issue - without having to create custom error formatters, or run debugger.

## Install

Install using **pip**:

```sh
$ pip install mybad
```

## Use

Very basic **[example](https://github.com/grimen/python-mybad/tree/master/examples/basic.py)**:

```python
from mybad import Error

class ToMuchError(Error):
pass

def print_money(stash):
try:
if isinstance(stash, str) and len(stash) > 13:
raise Exception('Too much money to print: {0}'.format(stash))

print('PRINT {0}'.format(stash))

except Exception as error:
raise ToMuchError(error,
message = 'Out of money printing ink...',
id = hash(stash),
key = 'too_much',
code = 400,
details = dict(
stash = stash,
)
)

amount = ''

for dollar in range(42):
amount += '$'

print_money(amount)

```

Run this with optional environment variables `COLORS` / `ERROR_COLORS` and/or `VERBOSE` / `ERROR_VERBOSE` set too truthy or falsy values, so see various error info formatting in terminal.

Something like this (imagine some colorized formatting):

```bash
PRINT $
PRINT $$
PRINT $$$
PRINT $$$$
PRINT $$$$$
PRINT $$$$$$
PRINT $$$$$$$
PRINT $$$$$$$$
PRINT $$$$$$$$$
PRINT $$$$$$$$$$
PRINT $$$$$$$$$$$
PRINT $$$$$$$$$$$$
PRINT $$$$$$$$$$$$$
===============================
str(error)
---------------------------
Out of money printing ink... - {'stash': '$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'}

===============================
error.stack
---------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "examples/basic.py", line 27, in print_money
raise Exception('Too much money to print: {0}'.format(stash))
Exception: Too much money to print: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

===============================
error.inspect()
---------------------------
{ 'code': 400,
'details': {'stash': '$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'},
'id': 3563898309523127190,
'key': 'too_much',
'message': 'Out of money printing ink...',
'stack': [ { 'code': ['stash = stash,'],
'file': 'examples/basic.py',
'function': 'print_money',
'line': 38},
{ 'code': ['print_money(amount)'],
'file': 'examples/basic.py',
'function': '',
'line': 48}],
'type': 'ToMuchError'}

===============================
error.json()
---------------------------
{
"type": "ToMuchError",
"id": 3563898309523127190,
"code": 400,
"key": "too_much",
"message": "Out of money printing ink...",
"details": {
"stash": "$$$$$$$$$$$$$$"
},
"stack": [
{
"file": "examples/basic.py",
"function": "print_money",
"line": 38,
"code": [
"stash = stash,"
]
},
{
"file": "examples/basic.py",
"function": "",
"line": 48,
"code": [
"print_money(amount)"
]
}
]
}

```

## Test

Clone down source code:

```sh
$ make install
```

Run **colorful tests**, with only native environment (dependency sandboxing up to you):

```sh
$ make test
```

Run **less colorful tests**, with **multi-environment** (using **tox**):

```sh
$ make test-tox
```

## About

This project was mainly initiated - in lack of solid existing alternatives - to be used at our work at **[Markable.ai](https://markable.ai)** to have common code conventions between various programming environments where **Python** (research, CV, AI) is heavily used.
