I wrote a decorator to log any exception a function might throw.

import logging def log_exception(func): def func_new(*args, **kwargs): try: return func(*args, **kwargs) except Exception as e: logging.error(str(e)) raise e return func_new

It is used like this:

@log_exception def divide(a, b): return a/b

For example, divide(1, 0) would log 'division by zero'.

My question is whether there's a builtin or more robust way to achieve the same thing. Maybe in the logging or contextlib modules?

    What is wrong with your decorator that you want to replace it? Commented Mar 23, 2022 at 15:20

    @ScottHunter Would you recommend to implement sum in Python over using the builtin sum? I'm asking whether I reimplemented a feature I'm not aware of. Commented Mar 23, 2022 at 15:22

    "Maybe in the logging or contextlib modules?" Well, did you try reading the documentation for those modules? Or the logging module cookbook? Commented Mar 23, 2022 at 15:27
