New submission from Alexandre Macabies:
https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/traceback.html#traceback-examples
See second code sample and its sample output. According to the docs, the call:
print(repr(traceback.extract_tb(exc_traceback)))
is supposed to print something that looks like an array with only strings; that is what the doc sample output states:
[('', 10, '<module>', 'lumberjack()'),
But actually, in 3.5+, this call outputs the repr() of a list of FrameSummary instances that do not go further in repr()esenting their state:
[,
By looking at the docs I thought I was able to get a nice string representation of a FrameSummary. I actually have to format it myself. It should be reflected in the doc sample output.
