The pyboard-D on our workbench [1] got shipped with MicroPython v1.10.
MicroPython v1.10-445-ga9b1d3ca3 on 2019-05-29; PYBD_SF2W with STM32F722IEK
Using this, MicroPython croaks on code like
try:
# Something fishy.
pass
except:
log.exception('Shutting down LTE modem failed')
with this message:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'exc_info'
Bummer!
The latest MicroPython firmware for the PYBD_SF2W is available from
For the pyboard D-series you must enter the mboot DFU bootloader by holding down the USR button, pressing and releasing the RST button, and continuing to hold down USR until the LED is white (4th in the cycle), then let go of USR while the LED is white. The LED will then flash red once per second to indicate it is in USB DFU mode. You can then program the firmware using a DFU programmer, eg dfu-util or pydfu.py.

Unfortunately, the error is the same with the current firmware bringing in MicroPython v1.11.

Looking for corresponding code fragments
indicate this might actually have worked the other day.
However, even with an updated
MicroPython v1.11-312-g22099ab88 on 2019-09-15; PYBD-SF2W with STM32F722IEK
this yields:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.exc_info()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'exc_info'
gives some more clues. We have been using the native code emitter.
Just made an Eingabe at Upstream as I would not know how to help myself further.
We got some valuable information from the MicroPython core developers and finally closed the issue at upstream [1].
sys.exc_info() is not enabled by default on MicroPython as it is not 100% compatible with the CPython version.
Following that discussion, we will adapt the MicroPython code to a different error handling pattern by propagating the exception object into log.exc(ex) instead of using the log.exception() method which gets the exception object by invoking sys.exc_info().
