How to capture unexpected error messages/warnings

Asked by Anshu

Is there any way to capture the message box or warning contents that would appear - when a test case fails.
For example if my testcase is to save a file by name test.abc , and that file already exists , i get an error message , which is handled by try ..except - so as to continue the test execution and return the pass/fail status.
But how do i capture the text(log) of error message - which can help to identify the failure cause ?

Thanks
Anshu

after an exception is raised, sys.exc_info contains all information about the error.

returns(type, value, traceback) --- their meaning:
Their meaning is: type gets the exception type of the exception being handled (a class object); value gets the exception parameter (its associated value or the second argument to raise, which is always a class instance if the exception type is a class object); traceback gets a traceback object (see the Reference Manual) which encapsulates the call stack at the point where the exception originally occurred.

(from Python doc: http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html)

I have a private def() to evaluate exc_info and print short, relevant info to stdout.

one more thing:
in general use -s on the commandline, to avoid the message box and get the error info printed to stdout.

Can you help with this problem?
