When an error occurs in Django (specifically an HTTP 500 "Internal Server Error"), I get an error dump that looks like the following, which I've truncated for brevity:
ValueError at <request_url>
invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'jbishop'
Request Method: POST
Request URL: <request_url>
Django Version: 3.0.6
Python Executable: <path_to_python>
Python Version: 3.8.2

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<some_path_here>", line 34, in inner
response = get_response(request)
... continues ...
I never care about all those random variables shown immediately below the first two lines that indicate what error occurred. I always care about the traceback, so I can pinpoint where in my code the problem is occurring.
Does Django provide capability to modify the error response in some way so I can show just the error and the traceback? It drives me crazy that I have to scroll many lines down to get to what's important.
