Does rospy logging support "exc_info"

I just did some test, and seems that rospy logging ignores exc_info=True which is supported by Python loggers.

So when exc_info evaluates True, python logger also logs the exception info. But I cannot make rospy.logerr() work with this.

Did I miss anything?

I forgot to choose the option. It is not a duplicate. It is that the rospy log methods only take *args, so it looks obvious it doesn't forward **kwargs to python logging. I am going to delete this question

I cannot accept my own answer yet. It requires 10+ points.

So I didn't notice that rospy log methods only take *args. That makes it obvious that they do not support python logger's **kwargs (exc_info and extra).

PS:

**kwargs is included in the prototypes of those Python methods. It is just the wiki page that needs to be updated.
The support for Python logging's **kwargs (exc_info and extra ) will be fixed by: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/pull/...
