The first sentence is confusing. I suggest: Dump the traceback of all threads into *file*. If *all_threads* is ``False``, dump the traceback of only the current thread. or Dump the traceback into *file*. If *all_threads* is ``True``, produce tracebacks for every running thread. Otherwise, dump only the current thread.

You removed "to terminate immediatly the process, which is not safe" sentence which is very important. It doesn't exit like sys.exit(): it exits immediatly. Not flushing file buffers is just an example. Anyway, thank you for rephrasing the doc. Victor
