# import traceback

**[import traceback](https://docs.python.org/3/library/traceback.html)** is a Python import that prints and analyzes exception tracebacks. Use it to log detailed error information without stopping the program.

```python
# Python

import traceback

def risky_function():
    data = [1, 2, 3]
    return data[10]  # IndexError

try:
    risky_function()
except IndexError:
    # Print full traceback to stderr
    traceback.print_exc()
    
    # Get traceback as string
    error_str = traceback.format_exc()
    print("Logged:", error_str)
    
    # Print just the exception line
    traceback.print_exc(limit=1)

# Get current traceback
import sys
if sys.exc_info()[0] is not None:
    traceback.print_exc()
```
