Uh, really? If you want to suppress all reference cycles, you *have*
to remove __traceback__.

The problem is to make computation of the traceback summary
lightweight enough that it doesn't degrade performance in the common
case where you don't have to print the traceback later.

So why can't we allow instantiation of types.TracebackType &
types.FrameType?

IMO it is absolutely out of question to allow creation of arbitrary frames from Python code, because the structure and initialization of frames embody too many low-level implementation details.

We might allow the creation of traceback objects, but without any custom frame objects it is unclear how useful that would be.

Antoine.
