Question

I have two python scripts, lets call them file1.py and file2.py, where I have different functions, let’s say that function11 and function12 are in file1. I need to use those functions in my file2.py function : function21.

Now the problem is that I have a simple error, but I need to make a ‘print’ of the variables to see exactly why I have those errors. But the errors are sent from one of the functions of file1 (that I am using from file2). And when I add some prints the results don’t appear in the terminal.

Is there some way that I can do this ?

I’m not sure of what your script looks like, but you might try something like this (if you are not merely looking for a debugger):

file1.py

def function11(arg1, arg2):
    try:
        # try something with arg1, arg2 <---- throws error
        . . .
        # return something
    except:
        return arg1, arg2

def function12(arg3):
    # try something else
    . . .
    return something

file2.py

from file1 import *

def function21():
    try:
        # the following function should normally throw an error, but you have to be sure 
        # the result arg1, arg2 from function11 (in file1) still throws
        # an error and does not look like the expected result
        f = function11(arg1, arg2) 
        . . .
        return something
    except:     # <---- if function imported from file1.py throws error, you want to print variables instead.
        print arg1, arg2
