Dmitry Kazakov added the comment: I think the reason this patch hasn't been discussed well is that it only changes the behavior for traceback.*_tb functions that only deal with tracebacks. I commented on the review page that we don't have to change the behavior of traceback.*_stack functions to make it obvious. Let me show an example:
import sys def a(): b() def b(): c() def c(): d() def d(): def e(): print_stack(limit=2) # Last 2 entries ''' Output: File "file", line 331, in d e() File "file", line 328, in e print_stack(limit=2) # Last 2 entries ''' raise Exception e() try: a() except Exception: print_exc(limit=2) # 2 entries from the caller ''' Output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "file", line 336, in <module> a() File "file", line 318, in a b() Exception ''' If we decide to unify the behavior of *_tb and *_stack functions, the change will break some existing code, although the breakage will be purely cosmetic. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22619> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
