sys.tracebacklimit

[Vlad Didenko]

Colleagues,

Per documentation at http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/sys.html#sys.tracebacklimit :

     When [sys.tracebacklimit] set to 0 or less, all traceback information is suppressed and only the exception type and value are printed

So, I expect to be able to have a program like:

    import sys
    sys.tracebacklimit=0
    print(1/0)

And see it's result as:

     ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

However, the actual result is:

     Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "tbt.py", line 3, in <module>
         print(1/0)
     ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

Do I misunderstand the docs?

Thank you!
Vlad
