Attachments: wrap traceback call in try/except block

Description Simon McVittie 2007-09-12 05:43:55 UTC 
The implementation of asynchronous services assumes that the exception passed to the error callback was thrown and is still the current exception, and tries to pull out a traceback. This means that this:

async_err_cb(SomeError('oops'))

won't work.

wrap traceback call in try/except block

Seems like this is an easy fix though I guess stringafying the exception may be superfluous,

Fixed in 0.82.3 with a different patch.
