Should we implement "Sentry"? If so, should we enable it by default? about vanilla-installer-python HOT 5 CLOSED

Perhaps a dumb question, but what part of this can actually "crash"? It seems more likely users will just get errors, which can be logged but not all of them should be directly sent somewhere.

There's cases where it might hang, but I couldn't actually find a sys.exit in the main.py, which is interesting. It's probably worth implementing some exits in cases where we know it'll fail, if we run into them.

Right. Well, currently I am against this idea and would rather suggest making it really easy for users to report this stuff (stack trace + version/system data templates, direct links to GitHub and Discord).
Can be reconsidered later if there still seems to be a need for this.

Oh, I think I have expressed incorrectly. I mean errors in general.

Okay! I'm OK with your choice since I was also unsure. But I agree with your point that we should make error reporting easier. I can do this.
