Hi, I solved this question saving the traceback output to a file. It is a bit stupid, but it works.

import traceback

#<<< some code >>>

    def effect(self):
        err_file = open("/tmp/inkscape_error_output.txt" , "w")
        try:
           #<<< your code here >>>
        except:
           traceback.print_exc(file=err_file)
        finally:
            err_file.close()

Note that most Inkscape extensions can be launched as command line python scripts (providing you give it the correct number and type of arguments). Then you get the output messages directly in the console.

Can you help with this problem?
