[New-bugs-announce] [issue26035] traceback.print_tb() takes `tb`, not `traceback` as a keyword argument

[Nicholas Chammas]

New submission from Nicholas Chammas:

Here is traceback.print_tb()'s signature [0]:

```
def print_tb(tb, limit=None, file=None):
```

However, its documentation reads [1]:

```
.. function:: print_tb(traceback, limit=None, file=None)
```

Did the keyword argument change recently, or was this particular doc always wrong?
