<p>This module provides a standard interface to extract, format and print stack
traces of Python programs.  It exactly mimics the behavior of the Python
interpreter when it prints a stack trace.  This is useful when you want to print
stack traces under program control, such as in a &#8220;wrapper&#8221; around the
interpreter.</p>
<p id="index-0">The module uses traceback objects &#8212; this is the object type that is stored in
the variables <a class="reference internal" href="sys.html#sys.exc_traceback" title="sys.exc_traceback"><tt class="xref py py-data docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.exc_traceback</span></tt></a> (deprecated) and <a class="reference internal" href="sys.html#sys.last_traceback" title="sys.last_traceback"><tt class="xref py py-data docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.last_traceback</span></tt></a> and
returned as the third item from <a class="reference internal" href="sys.html#sys.exc_info" title="sys.exc_info"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.exc_info()</span></tt></a>.</p>
<p>The module defines the following functions:</p>
<dl class="function">
<dt id="traceback.print_tb">

<dd><p>Print up to <em>limit</em> stack trace entries from <em>traceback</em>.  If <em>limit</em> is omitted
or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">None</span></tt>, all entries are printed. If <em>file</em> is omitted or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">None</span></tt>, the
output goes to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.stderr</span></tt>; otherwise it should be an open file or file-like

(1) if <em>traceback</em> is not <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">None</span></tt>, it prints a header <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Traceback</span> <span class="pre">(most</span> <span class="pre">recent</span>

trace; (3) if <em>type</em> is <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#exceptions.SyntaxError" title="exceptions.SyntaxError"><tt class="xref py py-exc docutils literal"><span class="pre">SyntaxError</span></tt></a> and <em>value</em> has the appropriate

<p>The following example shows the different ways to print and format the stack:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">traceback</span>

<p>This last example demonstrates the final few formatting functions:</p>
