New submission from Naftali Harris:
The traceback documentation states that it "exactly mimics the behavior of the
Python interpreter when it prints a stack trace." Here's a small case where it
doesn't, on 2.7.13:
~/repos/Python-2.7.13$ cat example.py
def f(x):
global x
~/repos/Python-2.7.13$ ./python.exe
Python 2.7.13 (default, Dec 29 2016, 09:54:42)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.31)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import traceback
>>> import example
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "example.py", line 1
def f(x):
SyntaxError: name 'x' is local and global
>>> try:
... import example
... except:
... traceback.print_exc()
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
SyntaxError: name 'x' is local and global (example.py, line 1)
>>>
I believe Kurt fixed this for Python 3000 with
