[New-bugs-announce] [issue20616] Add tracemalloc.Traceback.format() method

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

Attached patch adds a Traceback.format() to the new tracemalloc module.

Since the tracemalloc is new in Python 3.4 and my patch adds a new (simple and tested) method, I consider that it's not so late to add it :-)

I chose a different API than traceback.format_tb() because I would like to use directly print or use functions of the logging module (logging doesn't expect newlines).

I set the priority to release blocker because I want to know Larry's opinion on this issue.

@Larry: Change the priority if you consider that it's really too late for such change.
