+\section{Built-in module \sectcode{traceback}}
+\stmodindex{traceback}
+
+\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module traceback)}
+
+This module provides a standard interface to 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, e.g. in a
+``wrapper'' around the interpreter.
+
+The module uses traceback objects --- this is the object type
+that is stored in the variables \code{sys.exc_traceback} and
+\code{sys.last_traceback}.
+
+The module defines the following functions:
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{print_tb}{traceback\optional{\, limit}}
+Print up to \var{limit} stack trace entries from \var{traceback}.  If
+\var{limit} is omitted or \code{None}, all entries are printed.
+\end{funcdesc}
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{extract_tb}{traceback\optional{\, limit}}
+Return a list of up to \var{limit} ``pre-processed'' stack trace
+entries extracted from \var{traceback}.  It is useful for alternate
+formatting of stack traces.  If \var{limit} is omitted or \code{None},
+all entries are extracted.  A ``pre-processed'' stack trace entry is a
+quadruple (\var{filename}, \var{line number}, \var{function name},
+\var{line text}) representing the information that is usually printed
+for a stack trace.  The \var{line text} is a string with leading and
+trailing whitespace stripped; if the source is not available it is
+\code{None}.
+\end{funcdesc}
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{print_exception}{type\, value\, traceback\optional{\, limit}}
+Print exception information and up to \var{limit} stack trace entries
+from \var{traceback}.  This differs from \code{print_tb} in the
+following ways: (1) if \var{traceback} is not \code{None}, it prints a
+header ``\code{Traceback (innermost last):}''; (2) it prints the
+exception \var{type} and \var{value} after the stack trace; (3) if
+\var{type} is \code{SyntaxError} and \var{value} has the appropriate
+format, it prints the line where the syntax error occurred with a
+caret indication the approximate position of the error.
+\end{funcdesc}
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{print_exc}{\optional{limit}}
+This is a shorthand for \code{print_exception(sys.exc_type,}
+\code{sys.exc_value,} \code{sys.exc_traceback,} \code{limit)}.
+\end{funcdesc}
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{print_last}{\optional{limit}}
+This is a shorthand for \code{print_exception(sys.last_type,}
+\code{sys.last_value,} \code{sys.last_traceback,} \code{limit)}.
+\end{funcdesc}
