[New-bugs-announce] [issue7317] Display full tracebacks when an error occurs asynchronously

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

When an exception is raised in a __del__ method or a finalizer (i.e. a
weakref callback), only the exception name is printed out.
Unfortunately, arbitrarily complex code can be involved which makes
debugging quite tedious. It would be nice to display the full traceback
so that these errors are easier to diagnose (see issue7060 as an example).
