log traceback information in a readable way
===========================================

write_func - a function used to write exceptions, receieves string
add_newline - if True, adds a newline to every line passed to write_func

Magic Variables:
----------------

If you define one of these variables in your local scope, you can add information 
to tracebacks that happen in that context. This allows applications to add all sorts
of extra information about the context of the error

``__traceback_hide__``:
    If set and true, this indicates that the frame should be hidden from abbreviated tracebacks.
    (the frame won't be logged) This allows to hide some of the complexety of the traceback and
    let the user focus on the relevant path

``__traceback_hide_all_vars__``:
    If set and true, this indicates that all the vars in this context should be hidden (in order to avoid 
    leak of information)

``__traceback_hide_vars__``:
    [variable which supports "in"] if set, variable names in __traceback_hide_vars__ aren't logged.

``__traceback_expand_vars__``:
    [variable which supports "in"] if set, variable names in __traceback_expand_vars__ are expanded (otherwise, only the first 40 chars are displayed).

``__traceback_stop__``:
    If set and true, stop traversing traceback in lower levels

``__traceback_stop_display_vars__``:
    If set and true, stop traversing displaying variables in lower levels

``__traceback_start__``:
    If set and true, start up the traceback again, if ``__traceback_stop__`` has come into play

``__traceback_start_display_vars__``:
    If set and true, start up displaying variables again, if ``__traceback_stop_display_vars__`` has come into play


Example
-------
from log_exception import log_exception
import sys 

def login(username, password, reason):
    __traceback_hide_vars__ = ['password']
    __traceback_expand_vars__ = ['reason']
                
    #do_login doesn't exist, and will cause an exception
    do_login(username, password)
                    
            
def play(username, password):
    __traceback_hide_vars__ = ['password']
    reason = "I just want to login, will you help me good sir?"
    login(username, password, reason)
        
def run(username, password): 
    try:    
        play(username, password)  
    except Exception, e:
        log_exception(write_func = sys.stderr.write , add_newline = True)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    run('admin', 'Sekret')
