Django error traceback not showing the real error

In a Django view method, I have some code like this:

x = my_dict['foo']

'foo' is not in my_dict, so I'm getting an error traceback screen, as I should.

However, the error screen claims the error is deep in some internal django module, rather than in my code. Here is the traceback information:

Traceback:
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response
  99.                     response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs)

Exception Type: KeyError at /app/login/
Exception Value: 'foo'

Why isn't it showing me the line of code from my view method?

It happened to me as django showed me complete error trace only once then after that error trace was not complete.

Try turning DEBUG = True this will show you the complete error log.

I believe Django is considering the error to be that the view hasn't returned a valid HTTPResponse and conveying that rather than the reason for the view not conveying the response. I believe this is by design.

To get to the specific error look at your web-server's error log.
