How can I log PyQt5 sudden crashes?

Question

I'm using PyQt5 as a GUI for my python app. Sometimes the code crashes with these types of errors:

pyqt5 error Image

Is there a way to log these types of crashes with explanation (like error exception).

Edit:
found an easy way.
just run via cli
>> py filename.py
works like magic. (or if using pycharm, debug mode)

If you're using pycharm, see [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/53729804/984421). — ekhumoro, Mar 23 '22 at 17:38

The general method for error catching is this:

try:
    # try something that does not work
    a*5
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

the output would look like this (for the example error):

name 'a' is not defined

However, you might need to do other debugging, logging and printing to terminal to find the error.
