Using attributes from a raised Exception in another file

Question

I have a script that uses the digi.xbee.devices library.

The script receives data from another xbee(radio) device and outputs it to the terminal. The script that does this is called main.py

My issue/question is:

Sometimes I receive a malformed packet and an exception is raised in another file (one of the library files we will call it file2.py).

The exception:

                    except InvalidPacketException as e:
                        self._log.error("Error processing packet")
                        continue

This simply produces the string "Error processing packet" in my terminal.

Is there a way I can access this exception when it triggers? I want to perform something specific when its hits without modifying the library file that raises the exception.

I was hoping I could access whatever the self._log.error is and just search to see if it contains the word "Error".
