How to get detailed exception info

[llamafilm]

What is the recommended way to see detailed connection errors for GET connections? There are many different exception classes in httpx, and I would handle them all in the same way, but I want to print a detailed error message to the debug log for troubleshooting. All the exception classes are empty except for a docstring, so this is what I came up with. But I'm not sure if it's good practice to rely on docstrings like this?

try:
    httpx.get('http://127.0.0.1/badpage')
except httpx.HTTPError as e:
    print(e.__doc__.strip())

For a realistic example see https://github.com/llamafilm/iotawattpy/blob/patch-1/iotawattpy/connection.py#L45

Thank you for the hint, finally found out why do requests fail sometimes. It's really bizarre why by default stringification of exceptions results in empty strings.

Yeah I have a similar issue all I get in stacktrace is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/httpx/_transports/default.py", line 60, in map_httpcore_exceptions
    yield
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/httpx/_transports/default.py", line 353, in handle_async_request
    resp = await self._pool.handle_async_request(req) 

Any idea how to find where this is being cause and why?
