-* You need to make ``pyeval()`` display python stack trace. There is currently

-  to use different approach: reproduce the error with
-
-    .. code-block:: sh
-
-       vim --cmd "let g:powerline_debugging_pyeval=1" ...
-
-  and then use the stack trace to search for existing issues or to create a new 
-  one.
