# numpy.seterrcall

numpy.seterrcall(func)

  Set the floating-point error callback function or log object.

  There are two ways to capture floating-point error messages. The first is to set the error-handler to ‘call’, using `seterr`. Then, set the function to call using this function.

  The second is to set the error-handler to ‘log’, using `seterr`. Floating-point errors then trigger a call to the ‘write’ method of the provided object.

  Parameters:
    func callable f(err, flag) or object with write method

      Function to call upon floating-point errors (‘call’-mode) or object whose ‘write’ method is used to log such message (‘log’-mode).

      The call function takes two arguments. The first is a string describing the type of error (such as “divide by zero”, “overflow”, “underflow”, or “invalid value”), and the second is the status flag. The flag is a byte, whose four least-significant bits indicate the type of error, one of “divide”, “over”, “under”, “invalid”:

          [0 0 0 0 divide over under invalid]

      In other words, `flags = divide + 2*over + 4*under + 8*invalid`.

      If an object is provided, its write method should take one argument, a string.

  Returns:
    h callable, log instance or None

      The old error handler.

  Examples

  Callback upon error:

      >>> def err_handler(type, flag):
      ...     print("Floating point error (%s), with flag %s" % (type, flag))
      ...

      >>> saved_handler = np.seterrcall(err_handler)
      >>> save_err = np.seterr(all='call')

      >>> np.array([1, 2, 3]) / 0.0
      Floating point error (divide by zero), with flag 1
      array([inf, inf, inf])

      >>> np.seterrcall(saved_handler)
      <function err_handler at 0x...>
      >>> np.seterr(**save_err)
      {'divide': 'call', 'over': 'call', 'under': 'call', 'invalid': 'call'}

  Log error message:

      >>> class Log:
      ...     def write(self, msg):
      ...         print("LOG: %s" % msg)
      ...

      >>> log = Log()
      >>> saved_handler = np.seterrcall(log)
      >>> save_err = np.seterr(all='log')

      >>> np.array([1, 2, 3]) / 0.0
      LOG: Warning: divide by zero encountered in divide
      array([inf, inf, inf])

      >>> np.seterrcall(saved_handler)
      <numpy.core.numeric.Log object at 0x...>
      >>> np.seterr(**save_err)
      {'divide': 'log', 'over': 'log', 'under': 'log', 'invalid': 'log'}
