how to suppress python stack trace?

[Bryan Oakley]

Is there any way to turn off the automatic DEBUG stack trace when a python keyword fails?

I have a python keyword that does nothing but call a .NET function. When it fails, I get 16 lines of useless python traceback. I want to be able to turn that off just for this keyword (or, more accurately, a family of keywords)

I'm not asking to turn the feature off completely; I'm just wondering if there's a global variable I can set, or a special exception I can throw, that disables the stacktrace only for one specific library keyword.

No, because I must throw an exception for robot to treat it as a failure.

On Robot side there is no such functionality.

Could you just catch the exception and raise a new one with its
message but without a traceback?

By the way, is this related to your generic Python wrapper for C#
libraries? Any change you could release it as an open source project
on GitHub or elsewhere? I'm sure others would find if useful and it
could also be used as a base if native C# library support is
implemented to the framework.
