It would even be nice to retrieve “responsible code text”; As several instructions can be in one line separated by “;”  
Now I get smth like this:

Hi audrius,

Could you please try to call Engine.GetService to get more details about exception in the exception catch block like this:

```auto
            try
            {
                scriptRun.RunFunction("OnPaint", new object[] { e.Graphics, displayPanel.ClientRectangle, currentAngle });
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                var trace = ((Alternet.Scripter.IronPython.IronPythonScriptHost)scriptRun.ScriptHost).Engine.GetService<Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting.ExceptionOperations>().FormatException(ex);

                MessageBox.Show(this, ex.Message, "Script Execution Error");
                StopScript();
            }

```

Where trace will contain information in such form:  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “”, line 1, in   
File “”, line 10, in OnPaint  
ZeroDivisionError: Attempted to divide by zero.

Regards,  
Andrew
