Feature #738
DebuggingPageMaker needs a fallback error page for errors that occur in the error page
Description
If you call upon a non existing model class the uweb stack crashes, no debugging info is created, nor is the log appended with usefull information.
example;
If you call upon model.Aclass.FromPrimary(...
Where you should have done:
model.AClass.FromPrimary(... the stack crashes without any details of what went wrong, making debugging very hard.

Are you sure this is actually happening? I just tried with a misnamed class in the logging module and got the following:
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> 'module' object has no attribute 'LOgging'
This was part of the usual uWeb http 500 debugging output, which is provided when using DebuggingPageMaker.
Please provide more context and a reproducible case.

Hmm, yes, as soon as I called on the non existing model class, the webpage would simply timeout, and the log would get 'an excetption happened'. This while using the standalone server with a debuggingPageMaker.
Ill see if I can create a small test setup.

So ok, we basically need an error page for the error page. You want a new bug for this? Or can we handle it in this one?

Jan,
Could you verify this fixes the problem you originally encountered? Also, could you describe the exact error condition, so we can create tests for this?

Elmer is going to test the issue of a deeploading an non existing object when trying to str an object on the initial debuggingpagemaker debug page.

Verified using a string class that raises an exception on being printed. This correctly triggers the error page for the error page, which itself renders perfectly fine.
Added functionality to the DebuggingPageMaker to catch errors in its error page. That is, if an error occurs in the rendering of the verbose debugging page, a more terse page is presented with the debugging exception and the original exception. This resolves #738.
