<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
