As it turns out, they are shown, but only on two conditions:

1)       You have unchecked "Run in Shell window" in the sln properties.

2)       You never do the following: "sys.stderr = sys.stdout"

 

The first one, I understand, but the 2nd one seems like a very common
way of capturing all error output.  After I execute that line, I can get
_nothing_ in my run output.  (Not even normal print statements).  This
means that I also don't see exception output.  Has anyone else seen this
behavior?

 

Cheers,

Subject: Are exceptions handled/shown in Visual Python?

 

 

In my experiences with debugging in Visual Python, I have only seen it
fail silently when a Python exception is thrown.  Is this
normal/expected behavior?  I would expect that it would at least print a
warning for me, and even better, would stop execution so that I could
examine what's going on (like WingIDE for example).  I feel like I'm
missing something obvious, but searches through the docs have not
yielded anything useful.  

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

 

   Taylor
