In case anyone else is interested, here is a workaround of sorts to
capture stderr in a python block:
https://github.com/jkitchin/pycse/blob/master/pycse/sandbox.py
You use this module to redefine stdout and stderr. You basically run
python like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-babel-python-command "python -m pycse.sandbox")
#+END_SRC
Then you get this output.
#+BEGIN_SRC python :results output
from scipy.integrate import odeint
#k = -1
def f(y, x):
return -k * y
print(odeint(f, 1, [0, 1]))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
sandbox:
---stdout-----------------------------------------------------------
[[ 1.]
[ 1.]]
---stderr-----------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 6, in f
NameError: global name 'k' is not defined
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 6, in f
NameError: global name 'k' is not defined
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 6, in f
NameError: global name 'k' is not defined
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 6, in f
NameError: global name 'k' is not defined
#+end_example
At least until babel captures stderr, this is a way to capture it. It does break the nice behavior of making tables output, since it
prints a string. The string could be orgified somewhat, eg
#+STDOUT:
#+STDERR:
I am not sure I will use this routinely, so I am not sure how much I
will put into furhter development.
