Python - How to print error with JSON format

Question

I'm new to Python, but as much as I search - I don't find a "jsonfiy" method for printing an error to the logs.

the way I'm printing today:

except Exception as e:
    print(type(e))
    print(e)
    print(traceback.format_exc())

This way I get all needed data from the exception, but I must represent it in a JSON format.

Any help will be appreciated!

I finally found the answer to my question, using python-json-logger, in my case I used it within Flask app, so the way to configure logger to use JSON format is this:

formatter = jsonlogger.JsonFormatter('%(asctime) %(levelname) %(message)')
app.logger.handlers[0].setFormatter(formatter)

Then I used app logger to log an error with JSON format like this:

except Exception as e:
    app.logger.error({"error": type(e).__name__, "message": e, "at": traceback.format_exc()})
