Description: ==============
        better_exchook
        ==============
        
        A nicer drop-in-replacement for Python ``sys.excepthook``,
        i.e. it prints stack traces with extended information.
        It will add some useful information for each frame,
        like printing the relevant variables (relevant = referenced in the code line).
        Also see `Python source and comments <https://github.com/albertz/py_better_exchook/blob/master/better_exchook.py>`_ for further details.
        
        Features
        --------
        * Shows locals/globals per frame, but only those used in the current statement.
          It does this by a simple Python code parser.
        * Multi-line Python statements in the stack trace output,
          in case the statement goes over multiple lines.
        * Shows full function qualified name (not just ``co_name``).
        * Colored/formatted output of each frame.
        * Syntax highlighting for the Python source code.
        * Support for `DomTerm <https://github.com/PerBothner/DomTerm>`__,
          where it folds all the details of each stack frame away by default,
          and thus provides a much more comprehensive overview,
          while still providing all the details when needed.

        Installation
        ------------
        
        You can just copy over the single file ``better_exchook.py`` to your project.
        
        Or alternatively, it is also available `on PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/better_exchook>`_
        and can be installed via:
        
        .. code::
        
          pip install better_exchook
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        .. code:: python
        
          import better_exchook
          better_exchook.install()  # will just do: sys.excepthook = better_exchook
        
        Or:
        
        .. code:: python
        
          import better_exchook
          better_exchook.setup_all()
        
        * **setup_all**
            - ``install`` + ``replace_traceback_format_tb`` + ``replace_traceback_print_tb``
        * **install**:
            - ``sys.excepthook = better_exchook``
        * **replace_traceback_format_tb**:
            - ``traceback.format_tb = format_tb``
            - ``traceback.StackSummary.format = format_tb``
            - ``traceback.StackSummary.extract = _StackSummary_extract``
        * **replace_traceback_print_tb**:
            - ``traceback.print_tb = print_tb``
            - ``traceback.print_exception = print_exception``
            - ``traceback.print_exc = print_exc``

          Do this: ``from IPython.core import ultratb; sys.excepthook = ultratb.VerboseTB()``.
          Shows more source code context (but not necessarily all relevant parts).

          Very similar, but less advanced.
          Only shows locals, not globals, and also just all locals, not only those used in current statement.
          Also does not expand statement if it goes over multiple lines.
