ENH: make minimal traceback reporting optional

[tacaswell]

Because sometimes you do want to see the full tracebacks.

It'd be nice if there were an exception stashing mechanism that worked like:

In [6]: %xmode minimal
Exception reporting mode: Minimal

In [7]: def test():
   ...:     raise Exception('oops')
   ...:

In [8]: test()
Exception: oops
(To see the full exception, run `%xstashed 4`)

In [9]: %xstashed 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-11-fbd55f77ab7c> in <module>
----> 1 test()
        global test = <function test at 0x10fa3a9e0>

<ipython-input-7-5f7df1f0ec85> in test()
      1 def test():
----> 2     raise Exception('oops')
        global Exception = undefined
      3

Exception: oops

Of course %debug could be used so long as you're only interested in the last raised exception. At least with the above, even old exceptions could be reviewed interactively. </hijack>

@klauer That request should probably go to IPython

[danielballan]

I think it exists: https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactive/magics.html#magic-tb

[danielballan]

Ah, not exactly. I somewhat misinterpreted @klauer’s comment on my initial reading. Nonetheless that might be interesting.

Just throwing it out there 🤷‍♂️
