I can't figure out how to print an error when it happens in another class. Here is some example code taken from CustomDataBitcoinAlgorithm.py fromĀ

I removed some parts of the code that were used for live trading. In the GetSource function I added a try except and raised an exception. I can print in that function normally using Console.Write, but it won't print the exception. The algo also doesn't trade at all when I add the exception. Any help would beĀ appreciated, thanks.
