This article discusses simplifying exception handling in various languages through methods such as time travel debugging and code execution using tools like dill. It covers resources for Common Lisp, Ruby, WallabyJS, contextlib, CPython bytecode, and the ‘with’ statement/suppress function. Comment B specifically highlights a decorator function that provides debugging and exception handling for wrapped functions with options for verbose output and breakpoint insertion in case of exceptions.

Python Bytecode, Time Travel Debugging, Resurrection, Ante-Mortem Debugging, Interactive Debugging, Resume after Exception, Python ignore all exceptions and continue execute next line in given section of code

why i hate exceptions

lisp-style resumption error-handling semantics

python for lisp programmers

practical common lisp

arithmatic infix

common lisp debugging

common lisp related libraries

slime

portacle

talk on reddit

ruby

pry-rescue may not resume execution?

java

eclipse hot code swap fix

hot code replace in vscode for java

python

bytecode hack, pyhotswap

python lisp-style exception as condition handling

dump different level of reloading call history

reload code blocks which are syntatically different, if black formatter fails after dedent then there shall be error

decide to reload extra parts of functions in the next run if selected

load newly added functions, remove old functions, execute added lines, reload entire module and update namespace depending on condition

check other programming language whether it jas similar capabilities

visit this thread of ruby in archive.org

wallabyjs

either bytecode or modify the source code

contextlib usage detail, to make customized “with” statements:

from contextlib import AbstractContextManager
class suppress2(AbstractContextManager):
"""Context manager to suppress specified exceptions
After the exception is suppressed, execution proceeds with the next
statement following the with statement.
with suppress(FileNotFoundError):
os.remove(somefile)
# Execution still resumes here if the file was already removed
"""
def __init__(self, *exceptions):
self._exceptions = exceptions
def __enter__(self):
print(dir(self))
pass
def __exit__(self, exctype, excinst, exctb):
# Unlike isinstance and issubclass, CPython exception handling
# currently only looks at the concrete type hierarchy (ignoring
# the instance and subclass checking hooks). While Guido considers
# that a bug rather than a feature, it's a fairly hard one to fix
# due to various internal implementation details. suppress provides
# the simpler issubclass based semantics, rather than trying to
# exactly reproduce the limitations of the CPython interpreter.
#
# See http://bugs.python.org/issue12029 for more details
print("EXCTYPE", exctype)
print("EXCINST", excinst)
print("EXCTB",exctb) # exception
print(dir(exctb))
breakpoint()
return exctype is not None and issubclass(exctype, self._exceptions)

python grammar sugar: brackets

https://pypi.org/project/brackets/

does that work in eval()?

use contextlib.suppress to replace try…except: pass

might investigate source code of the suppress object.

https://opensource.com/article/18/5/how-retrieve-source-code-python-functions

to execute code grouped by lowest level of indentation, we can def those lines of code and pass the code by dill.source.getsource(functionName) and eval within given global/local variables.

my solution is down here, with concrete examples.

hereby we recommend to insert a conditional return statement to ensure we will exit this buggy code at the best time. maybe we could put it into a dictionary somehow, tuples within string or something.
