internal traceback into a list of the pyparsing expressions that caused the exception to be raised. Parameters: - depth (default=16) - number of levels back in the stack trace to list expression and function names; if None, the full stack trace names will be listed; if 0, only the failing input line, marker, and exception string will be shown Returns a multi-line string listing the ParserElements and/or function names in the exception's stack trace. Example:: expr = pp.Word(pp.nums) * 3 try: expr.parse_string("123 456 A789") except pp.ParseException as pe: print(pe.explain(depth=0)) prints:: 123 456 A789 ^ ParseException: Expected W:(0-9), found 'A' (at char 8), (line:1, col:9) Note: the diagnostic output will include string representations of the expressions that failed to parse. These representations will be more helpful if you use `set_name` to give identifiable names to your expressions. Otherwise they will use the default string forms, which may be cryptic to read. Note: pyparsing's default truncation of exception tracebacks may also truncate the stack of expressions that are displayed in the ``explain`` output. To get the full listing of parser expressions, you may have to set ``ParserElement.verbose_stacktrace = True`` )
